Well here I go.
I've been dreaming/debating/planning a reef tank for a while. I'm now finally in a position to start the process and I thought I'd share. I'm nowhere close to some of the absolutely amazing setups I've seen on this forum but the feedback and information attained from build threads I have read has been most valuable.
This is my first saltwater tank and I hope I can gain some insight along the way. My family has just moved and I have a spot ready for the tank. I know of some challenges with my setup but I think I have the proper planning in place to deal with them.
Here is what I'm working with right now,
150 Gal Display Tank 72 x 18 x 27
30 Gal Crystal Sump
Bubble Magus A7 skimmer
Reef Octo VarioS6 return
2 x Tunze 6055 powerheads
2 x ATI Sunpower T5 6 bulb lights
I'm running a marathon so slow and steady it is. I will try to updated weekly with updates/pics.
Tank will be here, tape is for planning purposes. Couch will be gone.
The main challenge is space. Specifically height. The system will be in a storage/crawl space.
