Nice setup. What's the cost associated with running the tank monthly from an electrical perspective?

I am contemplating setting up a 7225 for a sps only tank to compliment my 190 mixed reef. Do you find flow from overflow side to far end an issue. I would use a pair of big gyres

@ReefDudes

3 жыл бұрын

No real issue. you have to play with the flow a bit to make sure you dont get a bit of protein layer building up on the surface if your always pushing towards the end but if you mix it up with the flow you should be good. I tried real hard to keep all3 sides clean and clear and with with 2x big mP60s on the overflow wall to accomplish that.,

How do did you like the l2 pump on this/old sump? How much flow (gph) do you think it was?

Only running it at 50% tons of flow if you need it. its ultra quiet and hasnt missed a beat. you could likely just do a M2 if you wanted to save some $

ReefDudes I don’t mean any disrespect, this is my own opinion formed off all of my research and 6 years of reefing. I have a similar smaller setup (100g nuvo ext+40 sump with every high end bell and whistle). I’m glad your rock is cycled but in my opinion throwing THAT many fish and coral in there at once, with (young) rock and sand that are even two months old, there’s still going to be major instability for at least a few months. Even off all of your fish live, I would be amazed if all of those sps make it through the nutrient instability. I know you are experienced, but I think patience is the way to go and supported by the biggest names in the industry. I wish you good luck.

Nice setup although I don’t like the way you basically threw it together. I don’t mean to sound harsh but it’s bad practice and bad for newbies to see, good luck with it!
