1800 gallon build and my new 180
- Thread starter gnorris23

the skimmer is going to have 3300 gph running though it and Im about to buy 2 dolphin 6200 gph pumps for the 1800 . One is going to pump water through and the other is going to be a closed loop system . Over all there will be a total of around 17,000 gph running between the 180 and the 1800 aquariums .
Thanks . Im trying to get it completed before the end of May . I took some time off 2 weeks ago and got sick half way through my "vacation" which stopped me from getting further along then I would have liked . But I am happy with the way the skimmer is working out so far . Im not worried about it being clear PVC since I plan on cleaning it consistently once a week anyway . Also I need to run my a/c into the garage ( something i've never done before ) but I already have a vent in the garage so it shouldnt be to hard . And I need to start building the walls and enclosing the garage for the manroom . A lot of stuff I have never done before and I am doing it on my own ... but its coming along I think .
I traded my 220 gallon tank ( if you look at earlier pics it was the tank sitting in the garage ) and I got two of these dolphin 6250 pumps . I also found another 4750 dolphin and will be running all 3 on the 1800 . Also I am going to change the location of the 1800 and add another stock tank to add more filtration and also allow more area for water to flow into . I have a busy week but by the end of next week I should have the stand for the 1800 completed .
