Hi guys
just wanted to say hi to you fellow reefers out there and introduce myself...I'm jaime. I moved back to Georgia from New York a couple of months ago and am finally getting setup again.
No one told me breaking down a 60 gallon tank and moving across several states would be so tedius. I had to place all my livestock in a rubbermaid container and belt it down to the front seat of my mustang.(Just didnt count on the rusting of the seat and handbrake later on due to overspill).... LOL
Hope to meet you guys in the near future but in the mean time I need some input on placing a refugium/ sump in a garage .. I've seen many setups with them in the basement but none with tanks plumbed to the garage.I dont have a basement and theres no way i could cram all my equipment under the tank. I now have (after months of painstakingly closly watching and supervising the construction of my new home) a 300 gallon "in wall" tank, i want to plumb it to a 150 gallon tank located in my garage. I just wanted to know if there were any downsides of doing this... (ie cold/ heat/dust/ pipes freezing??), or if anyone out there has done this..
Here are some pics of my new setup during and after construction and pics of my garage.,,,
