Now that my 110 is sold and gone, and i am taking the 75 offline this week. I thought i would start my new build thread.
this will be a 40 breeder sps dominated like the tittle says.
tank will be barebottom with a 20 long sump and a 20 long refugium.
mostlikely 65-70 gallons of water volume.
DSB bed in the fuge with LR and macro's.
Looking for good filther feeders for this area as well.
the tank is drilled for a calflow overflow system.
which will drain into the sump and the return will be split to the refuge and some reactors. maybe not the reactors. i will raise the fuge above the sump and drill one hole with a bulkhead to drain back to the sump.
the stand is being built right now and is 39x24x48
list of equipment.
mp10
tunze nano stream
diy dual stage calcium reactor
acrylic box for autotopoff
reefkeeper 1, jr coming soon
milwaukee ph monitor
Ai sol white
nextreef reactor
tlf reactor
1/10 hp chiller
sicce syncra 3.5 return pump
bubblemagus nac 6 skimmer
I did make one mistake while doing this build, i got the template from cichlidtx for the holes and i did not check with him to see where he used the template. so i placed it under the black trim on the outside of the tank and it was supposed to go on the inside, as the trim is shorter on the inside and brings the holes closer to the top, not bad if i did not have the glass already cut, for the overflow, so now i have two options.
one order new glass, 2 turn the elbows up and put the box on anyway.
or build a new small box on the inside and use the other one on the outside and drill holes in it to put the plumbing on the bottom of the overflow box. enough talking, here are some pics.
fuge (temp LR and mangrove home)
