Neo's 120gal Display - Basement Sump

[Siderjan]

Nice picture Neo!!  Catch him and put him in a little sandwich container with holes drilled all over it so water can flow thru it, then sell him.  LOL!

Well everyone seems to be elsewhere tonight and I got bored here all alone so I played with my camera.  I wish I was out with all the slutty women, isnt halloween great

He is the friendly one in the tank.

sweet setup and great pictures? what kind of camera did you pick up?

 

[Neopimp]

lol ya corals woudl be nice I am too cheap to buy colonies always frags

Its a Canon D3100.  Reason for selecting that one?  It came in Red, and the wife liked the color

I like it but I think that my old point and shoot had a better auto white balance feature than this thing.  I porbably just need to learn how to use it more.

Nothing wrong with frags.  Most of my corals have been grown from frags.....although I didn't do it that way for monetary reasons.

Patience is the key to this hobby......  keep up the good work.

Picked up a bunch of corals from jmonker today Will post pictures later.

I also got my DIY Input Box for the APex finished. Each input has a plug for a float switch and a 3 way toggle switch to manually override the float or just use the input as a button/Switch.  Handy when my display is upstairs and i need to turn the equipment off downstairs.

Updated shots of the Basement Sump/ Workstation, Pics of my DIY Input box for the apex controller. And Pics of how my LED Fixtures are mounted.

Apex Break Out Box.

Each input also has a manual switch.  Up is always On, Middle is always Off, and Down is doing whatever the switch is doing.  So when I need to drain water below my low sump cut off or somethign I can just manually override the switch and keep my system from turn off in response to the low water level

Now I can turn my skimmer off in the basement with a switch instead of pulling the cord from the power strip.
If anyone is under takign this project, you will need a mini din 8 cable.  I only used half mine so I have one available.

New Dual BRS Reactor - GFO and Carbon

Small QT/Hospital Tank

Large QT Tank - Looking for HOB skimmer for a 90 gallon at some point in the future.

New Wall Full shot of basement area.

LED Fixture mounting - as requested.
They just slide back and forth on the rails.

And they make great shelves

LED Lights in the morning.

LEDS at 60% - Hard to get a good represntative shot with the camera

looks incredible neo

Next plan is to sink a shallow plastic tray/tub into the table and a sheet of plexi and make a fraggin station.  Probably add a "faucet" from my RODI tank and drain it to the house sump pit

 

[Zakk]

looks fantastic

Most of my breakout box got used up by float switches.  All I had left over was 3, one to stop all the pumps, powerheads, skimmer etc for feeding, one to manually override the lights, and one for a light in the sump.
