Kbra's 330 gallon Reef

Kbra · Jun 13, 2012

So construction has finally begun. Its still going to be a long process from here but the first component is in hand. The stand.

Tank:
108" L x 30" D x 24" H
Acrylic
Eurobracing

Stand:
108" L x 30" D x 40" H
Stand is coated in Herculiner (Like Rhino Liner) to prevent rust, corrosion, and scratches.

Sump:
60" L x 24" D x 20" H
(Still working on this part)

Lighting:
T5 / LED Combo
Going to use T5 retros in conjunction with LEDs. I have been using the AI Sol on my frag tank and am happy with growth but not the as good as the color I get from my T5 display so im going to combine the two. I might run 3-4 AI Sols down the center row with 12 T5s on the outsides. (Sketch to come)

Flow:
Return Pump - ?
Multiple Tunze - Model ?

Controller:
Apex

Return Pump will be housed outside to limit in home noise.

I have two 100 gallon tanks in my garage which are at a higher elevation than the tank to gravity feed water changes and top off. This will be hard plumbed to the tank to make easy water changes and constant RO. No more refilling my 5 gal bucket!

Much more to come as things progress. And lots of pics
