125 DT, 55 refuge, 30b frag tank

[waffle]

Any suggestions how to plumb all of these together???????

If both tanks are drilled just run two returns from one sump and same for overflows. They would just share the sump

Not drilled ..I'm not sure if the 30b is tempered or not

Is the 125 drilled

 

[waffle]

No I'm going to drill 1.5" hole for the overflows through each side

The DT is going inbetween a wall so I don't want any plumbing running down the center.. the frag tank will also be viewable from both sides and the sump will be underneath the dt with skimmer reactors doser etc.. hooked up to it

Rough idea

Looks good. Just make sure the qt isn't attached to the main system. Idk if you were thinking of doing that or not.

Lol oh no ..yeah someone already briefed me about the problem with doing that on my other thread thanks ...any idea on how much water flow should be going thru the 30b?

 

[crister13]

The flow through it doesn't really matter. It's just the actual flow inside. Since you want frags (I'm assuming some sps) your going to want to have a decent flow, so a couple power heads will be sufficient. I would go for atleast 20x overturn. I have that in my 150 predator reef and I'm going to add more power heads to get it to about 35-40x so you may want it in that range.

40x dang that seems wild but I guess that's life in the ocean huh

More flow is a good thing, just make sure you circulate the water around the tank and not blast it at corals.
