I have been working on a fish room (http://www.reef2reef.com/threads/fish-room-and-reef-pond-build.234416/tags/fish+room/) build. (Picture heavy)
The current aquarium set up is a "U shape with 4x 55 gallons on the left. 9x20 gallon longs in the center and 2x 55 gallons that sit above my 100 gallon sump on the right side.
Well I started cycling the aquariums about 2 months ago and last week we had some drywall repairs done to the house and the workers blew a braker that the aquarium pump and heaters are currently running on. So when the pump stoped working the reruns on the aquarium started to back syphen into the sump, by my emergency water flow control that feeds into the sump.
I fixed the plumbing issue that I had and removed my braker panel from my shed along with the power outlets that I had wired. But I need to wire the braker panel up but I am no way an electrion. Lol
In the next couple of days I will hopefully be able to get the power going and won't have this happen again.
While I was driving around today I came across a guy today that had some ponds in his yard that he was not useing, long story short Thursday I'm going to be getting a three part pond and pond pump. I'm thinking about removing 4 of my 55 gallons to place the pond. I'm not sure how many gallons the ponds will fully hold. I think it will be cool to hold sharks and rays in them.
If any of you guys are an electrion that might have any pointers or tips on supplying power to the outlets.
Current aquarium setup list:
6x55 gallons
9x 20 gallons
100 gallon sump
3hp chiller
2X300 watt hear
Apex gold system
100 gallon holding tank
100 G/PD RODI system
4x kessil A160 for growing plants.
3X 48" 20k led strip lights for over the 20 gallon longs
72" 3X 250watt MH fixture (thinking about going over the pond build or the 2 55 gallon that I have over my sump)
I will be posting updated pictures of the build here along with the reef pond (http://www.reef2reef.com/threads/fish-room-and-reef-pond-build.234416/tags/reef+pond/).2776527764
