100 gal drop off build

Alexd8438 · Feb 2, 2017

so i am starting a new build. I am having artfully acrylic make a custom 100 gal drop off tank and stand for me. I am going to be running 2 hydra 26 leds, regal 200 reef octopus skimmer, 40 gal sump, 35 lbs of live rock and 55 lbs of dry rock, a 2-3 inch sand bed on both levels. I'm planning on making it an sps dominated tank. If you guys have and advice or opinions that would be much appreciated! This is my first tank over 50 gallons

this would be a cool peninsula type tank, but looks like you're running all the plumbing through the oval holes.

I love the concept of drop off tanks. My only concern is the poo, food and detrtus will settle in the drop off zone. May be easier to syphon though as its localized.
