[brattfish]

nice set up mate love it in response too the pvc pipe im using 21.5mm overflow pipe from b&q as my return,used it for seven year on my mixed reef with no problems.enjoy the hobby it is very theraputic

[shardinio]

@brattfish cheers mate! Yeah i thought the guy was bull shitting me a bit but i thought better safe than sorry! You should sub and check my videos out ive got fish in now and appreciate all the advice i can get from fellow reefers!

ps check out the automatic water change ;)

[ReefDVMs]

What type of PVC pipe are you referring too when you speak of saltwater safe, can you explainthe type of PVC you used that is saltwater safe? Thanks

[shardinio]

@ReefDVMs I believe the pipe is made by spears and is schedule 40. It is not common here in the UK and has to be ordered from specialist suppliers. It has a much thicker inner wall than normal british pvc piping.

[TheMyarse]

there are called Float Valves.

[shardinio]

@TheMyarse yes i know. My mistake!

[HawaiianBubble]

I bet thats all worth a good couple thousand there.., well done

[shardinio]

@HawaiianBubble Thanks mate!

it actually only cost me under a grand for all that but only coz me and my friends plumbed it all ourselves.

[captnick86]

Where did you get the RO storage containers?

[shardinio]

@captnick86 water tanks direct ;)

[reefman46]

yea you are right about newyorksteelo he is one of a kind with his educational videos

[shardinio]

@reefman46 Yeah he has been very inspirational and always reponds to messages fast! He's got my back on this build which is nice feeling fro a novice!

[CsGmiX]

Could you tell me where you got those water holding tanks?...thanks!

[shardinio]

@CsGmiX Water tanks direct co uk and you will find them under 200 Litre Round Water Tank. Think they were around £90 each with delivery but highly reccomend them! They look like the tanks that the bomb fluid was held in in Die Hard 3! ;)

[firescreenguy]

how will you mix the water in the salt water tank?

[shardinio]

@firescreenguy I now have a second pump and heater installed in the saltwater tank and will use this to prepare the salt water in the tank

[aquariumdownloads]

nice system! look forward to seeing the tank and how you do the auto saltwater change. when are you getting it?

[shardinio]

@aquariumdownloads Thank you, Should be arriving in around 3 weeks! yeah I cant wait to program my aquatronica unit and see it all working.

[snowingspoon]

I am feeling some great thing to look. Subscribing you.

 and if you make custom tank that your kitchen hole has a separate looking tank. the tank is starting inside the kitchen and coming to you TV room through hole and Expanding to full table. but really difficult to adjust such idea.

[shardinio]

@snowingspoon I think i understand what you are saying but it would cost me too much to make the hole so big through to the kitchen as it is a supporting brick wall. At least I get to see the center of the tank from my kitchen. Thanks for the comment ;)

[newyorksteelo]

Very nice looking place you have there. Looking forward to more video. Thanks for the shout out and welcome to the hobby :)

[shardinio]

@newyorksteelo Thanks Steelo! so excited and cant wait for the tank!

[newyorksteelo]

@shardinio I know how you feel. Keep up the good work.
