So I decided to do a tank journal. I will have a display tank and frag tank side by side that will have the same sump. I am going the Triton Method as well.
Tanks:

125 Gallon 60L x 24W x 20H. 3- sided Starfire, Starfire Eurobrace, External Overflow (3 - 1" Drains, Bean Animal Design), 2- 1" Returns, Vinyl Back and Bottom.


32 Gallon Frag Tank. 30L x 24W x 10H. 3-Sided Starfire, Starfire Eurobrace, External Overflow (2 - 1" Drains, Herbie Design), 2 - 3/4" Returns, Vinyl Back and Bottom.

32 Gallon Frag: 1 - Radion Gen 3

Sump:
125 Gallon and FragTank: 56 1/2L x 20W x 16H

It's a custom made acrylic sump by Elite Aquatics. It is currently under construction. I will upload a photo to give you and idea of what it looks like. It's all black with clear windows in each baffle area. It is going to be a Triton Method sump.

Vectra M1 2000 GPH.

Equipment Undecided On:
Skimmer, Media Reactors, Reactor Pump, Controller (Apex or GHL?), Doser, Powerheads (Gyre or MP40's?), ATO System, Fuge Light, and what ever else I can't think of at the moment. If anyone could give me any recommendations on any equipment that would work well with this system please let me know.

Just picked up some more Sched 80 parts. This stuff is not cheap and I have an contractor account with an awesome discount! My Siamese cat named Link loves attention and had to be in the photo as well lol.

So my tank builder has contacted me a they made a small minor error on my tank (cosmetic only) and they are willing to send me out a new one for free. If anyone is looking for a great tank and willing to drive up to Canada let me know lol. Looks like I’ll have to wait 3 weeks for the new one to arrive from a different province.

Looks like a good build started! Too far from Canada or I'd be asking about the tank

I’m in Vancouver, B.C. How much for what?

I’m looking for a 125 g tank. But it’s a long drive from Ottawa to Vancouver.

I ordered mine from a placed called Concept Aquariums in Calgary. They are affordable and as you can tell they do go work as well. They ship Canada wide and you’d be surprised how cheap shipping is. I only paid $300 for shipping a huge crate.
