200 ADG Tank Build

[Darth Coqui]

LOL Sunny
what you know about sofrito!!!
Wet pets be in this weekend even though i am ready.
unless you coming my way this week, bring big boy with you.

Here is an outline of my filtration I drew up month or so ago so my apologies as I have not finished the plumbing in Inventors to make it look professionally. The mark ups are on pdf. I do not have the 4th hole on the left as a return, so again the draft was done a sometime ago and the updated revision to it is at home.

I will add another canister in the future and i have 4 vhos instead of 2 that is on the pic. also this is not my canopy i went with. my lights are on a separate board that i can move up or down or just simply take off canopy, free standing i should say.
once i get a crib i will redo stand with doors on the side unless i put the tank in a wall, which is what i am headed towards to lol. and i will get a bigger tank for petros only and make this one my troph tank only
i hope this helps you guys who want to plumb inside tank and also make your own stand and canopy.
learn from my mistake and while i am happy and a bit proud, being the draftsman i am and not too subtle to in being meticulous, i have ideas to improve for another build. once i get a house of course

thanks again guys

Have you done a power out test to see if the wet/dry will/won't overflow?

[Darth Coqui]

yes sir i have.
in addition, it took around 2 - 3 hours to get the right regulation so that i dont hear the gargle noises, pretty darn quiet in my humble opinion.
I turned power off and checked if the wye check valve works (it did) and also how much water will be in my sump of where Nick drilled the drain holes. I must say Nick did a wonderful job and i wished I paid him much more for the great work. You guys must call upon Nick to drill your holes - cheaper than lfs and much more reliable let alone he is a funny guy.
I have 4" or so left of space on my sump once my x2 - 1.5" drains are done draining lol. so im good on power outages.
my experience in designing fire sprinklers for many years helped out a bit, however i was a bit nervous.
this has been my first time in doing something like this and i know i fugged up a few things but all in all, i am somewhat happy.
my next build (after i work on my 13b rotary 69 datsun 510 super bird - i miss my baby) will be a fish room with in wall tanks in living room, or something like that. but that is still a bit of ways to go.
thanks

Sounds good Frankie.

That Nick guy is a drilling wiz. He's been threatening to come drill my tanks just because, might even be while the fish are still inside

Dude, hook me up with some hog cooked in that famous PR sofrito

I dont know. Plymouth rock maybe
all i know is that if I need to go somewhere and im running late, i can have my daughter take a shower in the tank while i take shower in the bathroom. Save time, water and she can pee in the tank.
