My wife and I decided that it was time to upgrade from our 56 gallon column tank. We saw the 105 in the LFS and fell in love with it instantly. This is a big move for the two of us seeing that we haven't been in the hobby for two long, so the complexities of a larger tank are bit of a mystery. Here is the gear break down so far:
DSA 105 48x24x21
40 Gallon sump
Reef Octopus NWB200
2 AI Hydra's
Mag-Drive 12
Bean Animal Overflow
70lbs of dry rock (have some more cured rock, and will use some from our existing tank)
120lbs sand
We're still in the planning stages of everything; should have the baffles in the sump by the end of the week. Here is a sketch of what we have planned out so far.
The small compartment in the upper left corner will house two filter sox, spill over to the skimmer. The middles section will be filled with live rock, and then return to the tank. In the sump section I am going to have two in-use gfci outlets that will be connected to a battery backup. We have two dogs that shed like mad crazy, so I have been thinking about getting the material used to cover screen doors to line the back side of the sump. That is all we have for now, more updates to come.
Any suggestions are welcome.
