Present days: summer/autumn 2019
After a long break i resumed working on my panorama reef. I had other priorities that needed my attention. - complete renovation of my 250m2 rooftop - installing PV system with 63 solarpanels to power my reeftanks - summertime is also my time for watersport now we are back on track https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...968fc75369.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...37aef1b2b3.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9bad56fcbc.jpg happy DSR reefer |
That’s a big PV system for residential, how many KVA?

15Kw max power My annual consumption is 30MegaWatt, so i am coverimg just half of it https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a66ad7ee53.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...49c25120e5.jpg happy DSR reefer |

That is an amazing system, really large for residential in my latitude. I just completed a 7.5KVA system wit 26 panels that is predicted and on track to make 13.5MWH/A but we have some of the best irradiance on the planet in my area. I know those roof mounts you are using are quite expensive. What cost more, the mounts or the modules (panels) that are on them? And 30MWH/Y? Are you running Halide lighting? Electric heat? That’s a lot of energy. |

Indeed you are lucky with more sunlight making your system perform optimal throughout the year. The modules are more expensive. I choose these flatfix fusion mounts from esdec because of the quick mounting system. Diy would have cost me much more in material and time to mount it all. https://youtu.be/qyS9h0wjl_0 happy DSR reefer |

Last 2 days i have been working on the stand of the 4 meter section https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9657ddb0c6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f27cdacf58.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e4652bdc54.jpg happy DSR reefer |
The build is slowly and steadily progressing

Today i did some calculations for the glas required to build the tank.

Today i recieved this package
The U-Reef will be controlled by GHL Profilux and the KH Director. Normaly i build everything myself with discrete components. After all those years doing DiY it was time to try something more advanced. It seems GHL has been running along quite a while and they produce state of the art products. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a2646a074a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c03d91467f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e5686ac7d4.jpg happy DSR reefer |
Holy S**T man, all that work your doing is amazing. If I could afford it I’d love to come see it.

Now waiting for a quotation for the glass Meanwhile i used a old side table to build my (portable) GHL measuring station around. Now i am playing with the GHL stuff. The KH director is real great and consistent. You can also adjust a correction factor to meet your own reference standaard. Which i did... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...200dfcb559.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a163069503.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c08e384a53.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3c77587dc6.jpg |

To make sure my floor could handle the load , i asked my constructor of another building project to look at my plans. Due to other works he had laying around, it took him 3 week to do the math. He also consulted a colleague constructor about the matter and they came up with the following advice.
Tank3 was a problem. I wanted it 300x120x55wh That was critical..... so the tank was downsized to 200x120x40wh https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...56256b3843.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e44d4c8e1d.jpg happy DSR reefer |
This looks like a monster of a tank good luck with the build

The glas for section 1 and 2 has been ordered and will be deliverd 1st week of 2020. Because i did want to push things and many manufacturers stop production around 16 december which caused a pileup in orders. Section 3 will be placed after te removal of the current tank sitting on that space. happy DSR reefer |
Following...looks like its going to be a monster build/
|
Due to life we had some delay
Now there is no way back! The glass arrived today, so we have to pull through with this project from now on. I yet have to detemine whether is will glue it as one single tank or as 3 part segmented tank for redundancy. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2f3efa2a71.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e299e5b845.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2fa0285dcf.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c749c76831.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b7c3466683.jpg https://youtube.com/user/glennfhome |
