Tank Journal Archive
Thanks everyone
Very exciting but terrified too
It's a whole different level in reef keeping
And terrified for my stock
Never cycled a tank before
But bonus is that I've come a long way In understanding this hobby
So looking forward to learning even more
Thanks also to @Sam Parker
For being the most amazing , patient & helpful mentor anyone could ask for
I honestly don't believe I wouid still be in this hobby if not for him & @The Reefuge

Lesley,
thanks. I have faced a blank wall with several.. asking me to provide the design, and they will build - not even willing to visit the site to understand what it takes to put a tank this size together, in co-ordination with the build of the new room/extension. Pretty frustrating.
Overall size has increased ( thanks dear wife) to 2800, x 1100 wide and 910 deep ( depending on the glass supplier)
The big issue is if I keep it simple and install the sump under the tank, traditional, or plumb it in to have all equipment in the basement, about 10 meter away and one floor down.
Pro'sd and con's for both.
I am lucky enough to have this option, but if I do the basement option, it comes with some practical drawbacks.
Appreciate everyones thoughts and suggestions.
I hope everyone , especially those in Brisbane , got through the floods with minimal damage.. we were luck on the Gold Coast.. big winds, lost a few cushions, and a chair, but otherwise, nothing to complain about.

Sam,
thanks.
After have the sump under my 8 ft tank for 20 years, I always swore that if I get another, I will separate the sump to a location out of the room. The issue was noise, water splash, and having a monolith stand effect.. but talking last week with the plumber, it will be quite a job to core drill through the wall, then the slab to get the pipes from the new extension room, to the basement, and then pump back. Someone also made a comment about practicality, with the tank and the sump so far from one another, but I suppose it may be a hassle min the set up, but once that is set, and the parameters established, it should not be too bad.
Still undecided...hate being fickle, but trying to be cautious this time, rather than having to retro fix later
