Great website, what a great place for Canadians.

I have been researching online for my first 150 - 200 gal marine tank with sump setup (FOWLR?). (I have a 110g FW tank). I have found lots of links to the various sub systems of the overall design (tank design, sump/filtration, RO and water top off etc), but very little showing the big picture of the whole system, with diagrams and pics. I plan on buying one of the recommended books next time I'm in the city, not sure if that will help.

I want to place the main tank in the living room, and a large sump etc one floor down, with an auto RO water top off.

Could anyone point me to a link with diagrams/pics of various entire systems. The diagram is important, as obviously the whole setup won't fit in one pic.

Thanks, Tom.

Hey Tom, this isn't a diagram per say, but it has lots of 'tank diaries' in it which you may find helpful.

Just go through the forum and you'll find some good threads.

Hope that helps.

This is also a really good place to look around and ask questions. MOJO reef (Mike O'Brien) is a plumbing guru and really helped me to design a closed loop system.
