Well here's the rest. The filter that took this guy's summer. Took 3+ months to finally get to this point. Whole lot of work, lots of leaks, and a new found hatred for plumbing.
The 180 is the time out tank. Usually has male rays in it. Currently a hospital tank for fish that like irritating the wolves, and in turn need time for their wolf inflicted wounds to heal.
The RFSs drain into a 55 gallon tank with 200/100 socks. From there about a third of the water drains into a 90 gallon reactor. This reactor has 3 discs mounted in the bottom of it. The 3 valves allow independent control of each disc. That reactor drains into the 300 gallon rubbermaid that houses the 2 wet/dries with moving beds in the bottoms of them. Each of these towers also receive roughly 1/3 of the water from the sock tank. These are to deal with the issue of meds that mess up most reactors. With the wet/dry above the moving beds there is no way for the K1/chips to dry out. These are boiled by the crashing water and a few air stones in the towers. An entire Pond master AP100 is used on this system without venting anything as the 90 gallon reactor alone has 15 cfm worth of diffusers in it.
Each return pump runs through a 110 watt UV sterilizer on the way back to the tank.
There's room on the shelves, above the 300 gallon tub and next to the 180, right next to the window. I'm hoping to get a 4x3x1.5 on the bottom rack for pups, and there will be a 3x3 above that which will be used for a plant filter. Hoping that will house enough plants to do something. IF not the pup tank will go elsewhere and both tanks will be used for plants. I need to try to cut water changes down since RO makes so much waste water already.
Last is the reading on one of the return pumps. 2 should make for a 8,600 gph rating right at 300 watts, although I'm sure my plumbing ruins that rating.... lol
