Cody's 80g mixed reef ;)

[shabidou1990]

Hey guys, so i don't post much but thought hey, starting a project from scratch so what better time to start ! ! So i got the idea to upgrade my 45g AIO jbj tank after recent renos to a custom 80g made by concept. Dimensions are 38"x22"x22" .The tank will be on my main level plumbed into the sump in the basement and tied into an extra 44g tank divided into 3 bays small ~12g area for frags,a ~12g area for a clownfish breeder pair i have and a ~20g area for my seahorses . Recently started my stand decided to go with a weathered wood look, and purchased my pump (has to push ~12' of head) and my new lights! As soon as tank gets here ill start running plumbing and all, have an overall idea for it thanks to scythanith! Now to bring it all to life!!

Looks like you have a nice start and some good help. Mad jelly of the razor and that sink. Killer looking.

Does that waveline pump have the black controller with the green buttons? Or the newer square one?

Either way, pushing 12' of head with that pump will be difficult. I have nothing but bad things to say about those pumps. Save yourself the trouble now and look at a replacment. Im sitting on two waveline paperweights that didnt even last me a year...and there is zero warranty with them. I had one of mine running about 7 ft of head and it barely pushed water. Id say it lost 70% of the flow or more at 7 ft.

If you choose to use it, I really hope you have some success with it. Maybe the rest of us got the bad ones ;-)

Looking forward to some updates.

Hmmm nice to hear some input , the controller I have is the new one. I know I read a lot of bad reviews about the old controllers but they apparently "fixed" with the new controller.

Pump "says" will push 19.9' of head and as a 3170gph pump I'd believe it , but do price I got it for couldn't say no! It will also be connected to an apex controller soon enough, currently running a reef keeper but looking into upgrading that shortly!

Still have to finish the doors and lower floor piece for the stand so hopefully that'll get done this week and start plumbing in by the weekend sometime !
