1,000 gallon all in one build

[grouper therapy]

Finally got to the point where I could justify a larger system so I opted for one all inclusive system. It will be built into a room in the basement that is solely for the tank (and a tv). There will be a lot of negative space with basically a peninsula of rock from the back wall .

Circulation:
4 power heads that power heads will have gates that close and open thereby switching the flow to the back area.
75-100 gallon surge device which dumps via a spray bar mounted on the front of the tank.It will shut off during night time hours.

Lighting:
1- 1,000 watt MH in a 36" diy parabolic reflector on a light mover. It will only move +/- 16".
Supplemental will be T5 and/ or LED

Filtration:
DIY carbon chamber
DIY GFO chamber
DIY Ozone reactor
Diy automatic water changer.

Dosing:
Diy kalkwasser tank
Diy calcium reactor
Diy auto topoff

Will post pics as soon as I figure out how to delete some pics as I am over the limit.

Look pretty nice. What is it going to be constructed of?

 

[gixxer600]

By the way are you still interested in leaky tanks?

Awesome!

Very similar to my dream build, an All-In-One Peninsula in-wall build with the sump area in a hidden service room......

I found one close to home, but may need another. I am
using them for the glass to use on this build.
