We've selected Concept Aquariums to build for us, and they'll be doing it all on site! We got quotes from 5 separate vendors, and ultimately Concept's quote best fit into our goals.

As for the water change system, I am lame, I went home from work, tossed some laundry into wash and promptly feel asleep at around 7:45pm. I'll do better with those photos tonight.

Default sump design

Hi Catherine I think I have the basic idea for your sump setup, see if this will work or if we need to make some changes to this

thanks

The automatic water change system will change 10gal of water everyday, it will be setup with 2 10gal tanks beside the sump one to hold fresh salt water and one to remove old saltwater, it will be controlled by a controller that I am designing so it will be hands free....one thing I am working on is to get the controller to actually make the salt water as well but need to figure out how to incorporate a salinity probe into my design

well a water change for that much water volume will be about 160Gal, so instead of trying to do one large one we will do a bunch of smaller ones.......maybe 10gal every 2 days not super positive yet but something along those lines.

and no not using IO
