50 Gallon Waterfall Lagooooon

Sorry if I missed it, but how are you controlling Humidity in this room? That's alot of surface area with all 4 tanks. Your evaporation rate for that small of a display tank is going to be insane.

The support system is going to be used for a larger system in the very near future, so the display will only be temparary.

The humidity will be controlled by an exhaust fan in the hole you see in the wall on the left hand side of the closet (next to the skimmer tank). This leads right outside to vent humidity. I also have a large de-humidifier in the room that the closets are in.

Eventually I will install an HRV, but until the day money grows on trees, the humidifier and the exhaust fan will have to do!

How many tangs do you have in your 20 gallon Nano? NONE... because you have the common sense and decency not to do something silly.

This coming from a guy who's about to stuff a VOLCANO into a 50g.. Have you no decency man! That poor volcano :-(

It grew there naturally.......I SWEAR!

Do you have any idea how much swimming room those volcanoes need? Also they grow extremely fast so you'll need to upgrade in a couple of weeks time.

Setup looks sweet right now, can't wait to see the finished product!

One question, I may have missed it, are those brute containers directly above each other? It seems like accessing the bottom one might be a little difficult.

One volcano alone can generate a HUGE bioload. Trust me, I know. I wrote a very informative paper on volcanoes once. In grade 3. I'll see if I can dig it up tonight and scan it for you to read at your leisure. #VolcanoPoPo

I know, I know... I will soon have to upgrade the volcano's overall tank volume, but the fish stores stock these volcanos in small tanks... so why can't I ??? !!!!

Yes, they are right above eachother. This makes it easier to gravity fill the mixing container from the RO above it by just opening a valve. There is about 12" of space between the two, and if need be, the saltwater one on the bottom can be pulled out for maintenance. But there is plenty of room to add salt, and the mixing is done with the mixing pump at the flick of a switch.

A minor update:

Got the RO system mounted all up, holes drilled for all the bulkheads on the shelves, and all the paint touch ups finished. Tonight I start going through the wall!

Starting to look like something finally! I'm ready to start plumbing!!



RO System (Yes it is still a construction zone in there...) Stuff everywhere lol.
