| Hello all Welcome! MY name is shawn, and i have been addicted since may 2009. ANd have turned to the dark side I have taken this addiction from a traditional 40 g to a Elos 70 to new tank I love all the details that others have in there post/threads so i am going to try to be as detailed as possible As the title implies I have been lucky enough to have a tank made for my own design. Its 56L 34W and 24H- its 197g. starfire all the 3 sides with a fiberglass bottom and a blacked-out back (custom made via planet aquariums thru Bill CORAL Brown at CRC). It has a 14Lx7W overflow box with 2 2'inch drains and 1 1.5' return line. Its on a black metal stand on a slab of granite. I am going to leave to bottom open bc we converted a closet into a sump room. The sump is 70L 24W and 16H (water level running at 9-10) Equipment- Lighting - Vertex SR360 4 ft mode nicknamed Betelgeuse (after my fav star in Orion's belt) its 5' inch above the water line and has 3 extra UV pads in it.will have 4 when said and done. and also prob 3 multi color pads some point. it has 64 whites 32 blue 32 royal blue + 9 uv pads so 137 leds with no lenses. We can go into great detail while i choose thing light prn. Filtration- Sump comp 1- Skimmer zone- Using a reef oct. internal 5000 and a BRS CArbon reactor on a small Sicce pump. Sump comp 2 - zeovit reactor- Using a vertex RX-z 3 Sump comp 3 - frag zone and small refug (live rock and copepode farm!) Flow- Currently have 2 mp40s but idk if this will cut it the return is pretty strong but will prb need to be supplemented - mp60? Misc Return pump Sicce HF12 - Dosers/OT- 3 1.1ml BRS dosers for alk calc and mag- and 1 50ml BRS doser for OT I use a Apex to control everything I run FULL zeovit setup. (more to come) Coral- SPS only
