Default Bobby B system

So about 3 years ago I built a 100 gallon breeding set up, which I have had great success breeding banggai's! Then after building my new house, I decided that I wanted to upgrade! So this is what I have done so far.

This is my 100 gallon breeding set up.

starting getting the tanks set up.

[IMG][/IMG

so I have a 180g display, 4 20g displays, 60g holding tank for RO. which u can see in the top right of picture. also have a 40g refuge, 40g saltwater mixing chamber, and a 35g sump.

sorry this pic is side ways lol

[IMG][/IMG]

I have 3 jebo pumps have 2 12,000 and 1 6,000. The 2 12,000 feed my 180 and the 6,000 feeds my 4 20g.

I T off one of the 12,000 pumps and installed these quick connects. and then installed a bulk head into my fish sink. then I just hook up a hose to drain for my water changes.

[IMG][/IMG]
[IMG][/IMG]

then with the mixing tank I have a valve that goes directly into the sump gravity bleed. back to more plumbing

[IMG][/IMG]

so after the 180 cycled I starting plumbing the existing system.

[IMG][/IMG]
[IMG][/IMG]
[IMG][/IMG]

I used my sump from the 100g system and turned it into my Q.T.

[IMG][/IMG]

this valve is from the RO tank so I can fill the mixing tank.

Beautiful setup. Good for you that you have the room in your new house to devote this much space to your passion. Well thought out design.

Thanks for the awesome comments! Never had any problems with puff, and he loves eating from a turkey baster!

If u need to get rid of hair algea I have a starving seahorse that will wipe out the algea. Just a thought . Great set up and looks like it was very well planned.
