Plumbing

Tank is reef ready with center overflow. A Duroso standpipe drains down to the sump. The drain has a tee that leads to the refugium and another tee that I can connect a pipe to to drain water for water changes. The min drain line, refugium line and water change line all have inline ball valves. The sump and refugium were custom built to my specifications to allow for the maximum size in the space allowed and still be able to fit through the doorway of the stand. An Euroreef  6-2+ does the skimming, and a KR2 calcium reactor supplies the calcium to the tank. A phosban reactor is also incorporated on the back of the refugium for phosphate control. The return pump is an Iwaki 30xlt pressure rated pump with the Japanese motor. The return line goes up through the overflow area, tees off then each side goes to a static outlet and a SeaSwirl. As you can see by the picture, every square in of the cabinet is used. The return pump is located behind the refugium.
