Hi all,
Welcome to my thread!
I am currently in the process of setting up a new system that's been an ongoing project. It started from an idea of having the sump for my existing 75g mix reef moved to the basement, to getting a 210g display with a 75g to use as a sump with hard plumbing. After having the 75g for 4 years as my first reef tank, I've learned a lot. So I figured I'd do things the right way from the fresh start. So here is what I have/planned so far:
- 210g 72" x 24" 29" DT
- 6' x 2' x 3' custom stand (work in progress - stay tuned for photos and details)
- 6' x 2' x 2' custom canopy (work in progress - stay tuned for photos and details)
- 75g drilled custom built sump (stay tuned for photos and details)
- 2" drain, 1" return, about 26' total length PVC hard plumbing
- Neptune Systems Apex controller (the new one)
- Neptune Systems ATK auto top off
- Neptune Systems Leak Detection
- Neptune Systems Auto Feeder
- Reef Octopus Classic 202s (I know this is too small for my system - looking for an upgrade/trade)
- Reeflo Yellowtail external return pump
- MP40 wave maker (will get a second)
- 3 LEDZeal Alpha 120W full spectrum LED's (I've had the Malibu S300 on my 75g and love it, hoping the Alpha 120's will be as good or better)
- 2 4' dual bulb T5 fixtures for enhanced coverage
- 300W Titanium heater (plus two or three more basic heaters for redundancy)
- 36W UV Sterilizer (On the market for this)
- Spctrapure RODI 90GPD unit
- 30g barrel for ATO (Planning to install auto water changing system down the line)
I will be adding more to this thread, and updating photos and progress.
I look forward to your comments and suggestions!
