Please get some water in this set up. I have been following this post for awhile and I think I'm as excited as you are to see it up and running. This would be a dream aquarium set up for me. I love all the pumps and valves and equipment you know.

i know setup is awesome, i posted a link to this build thread in our rc club and everyone thinks it is awesome but one guy system has been building for 4 years and still no water. Guess i'll see as soon as he post some pics, have to bug him for some pics.

Here is the new saltwater makeup barrel with the bulkheads in for the iwaki circulation pump for new saltwater makeup. The top was cut for access and will sealed back up when the inside equipment is completed. air line, pumps, heater, etc. The bulkhead holes were cut a bit oversized but was still able to bet full contact with the seal rings. siliconed the heck out of it both inside and outside. barrel is currently under test for leaks. so far no leaks.

Looking good, still waiting for the water. :D

 

[jhnrb]

Inside of saltwater barrel, pump for export of saltwater, large bulkheads for iwaki circulation pump for mixing, ridgid air line for air injection. rio 802 from previous system used to pump water out of tank.

top of saltwater barrel, airline injection, air export one with black silicon on it, and valve for controlling the export rate for water changes. the valve will only be connected for water changes.

upper bulkhead for connection to makeup tank with valve in between them.
