Sakset fra RC....
My frined gave me the authorization to post some pictures of his huge tank,about to 3.700 Gallons (14.000 Litres),in his back of this house ,another enthusiast of reefs:
First a pic from his proud owner:
Building the tank:
Finished and fully operational:
Lights on
This is the truck that was used to carry the saltwater ,Fernando used the whole tank
Some algae appearing,life coming up
Hidraulics:
Surge with 300 litres
Sump:
Some Rhyzophoras(did i wrote right?)
Boozeman,according to Fernando Guimarães ,the owner,he will change about to 80 gallons per week
These are the Owner (Fernando Guimarães) words:
Hi
Thanks to all for the compliments.
I am thankful to the initiative for the author of post this topic.
Pls forgive me, my English is very bad.
I go to use of Babel Translating Fish?:))))))
Well, I will try to display quickly some things that you guys had asked to me and others that I find interesting on my system
Display -about to 1600 GL + or -
Sump - about to 800 GL
Reservoir - 1000 + 530 = 1530 GL
Surge Device - 80 GL.
Circulation:
3pumps -
2 x 2900 GL/h (brazilian pump - Aquantt)
1 x 3500 GL/h (Dolphin)

The bombs still serve the ozone reactor, UV filter, drywet and filtering mechanics.
Filtering:
1 skimmer ETS - down draft - 4 injectors - 1,70 cm pump 2900 GL/h
900 kilos of live rocks (natural and artificial)
DSB - 1000 kilos of 00 aragonite
Ozone Reactor and generator - 1 g/h
Filtering Mechanics - 2 the 50 cartridges of 25 micras
UV - 30 w (very small)
llumination
Solar light (indirect)
8 x HQI of 150w - 10000 k
8 colorful illumination (blue and green) - nocturnal light
I wonder the cost of the project (I stopped to make account, or else i would be crazy) for equipment and costs in Brazil (well more expensive than in the USA), runs about to U$ 25000,00.
Control of Temperature:
We are in phase of tests of the conception of the project, that is to keep the controlled temperature in a first period of training through the one use sump of considerable size (increase of the volume of the water) and below of the level of the ground (embedded).
The first tests if had ,shown satisfactory.
For a reached maximum temperature of 32º C in the exterior, the water level did not exceed 28/29º C.
For a bigger security, I will have to install another 3 fans of a bigger size, to remove hot air and cool air of the water through the surface of the tank or for ticket of water column.
For the total of water and sump embedded, we notice that the trend is to keep a small exchange of temperature with the exterior.
For the heating, the project conceives a system of solar heating, keeping plastic curtains closing the environment and two heaters of 7500w each one, setting in motion of form sequence, objectifying to keep the water around 21 22º C. In this winter, in the tests, the temperature of the water arrived in the maximum 18/17º C, for an exterior temperature of 9º 10º C.
I also liked the natural look

The windows are in glass of 30 mm plated (3x10mm), what it gives a green aspect. The acrylic in the Brazil is very expensive.
The covering of the concrete is of colored and colorless gelisofilatica resin; an aragonite mass, halimeda and gel colorless resin to give a more natural aspect
