Hi I'm Tom and new to this forum. I am starting a 320 Gallon Build that will be mainly SPS corals. The tank is 96X27X30 and will have a 60 X24 Sump. My equipment list is as follows:

Neptune APEX with 2 EB8
Bubble Master 250 with two PSK-2500
Advast K2 Kalk Reactor with solnoid direct ATO
Two Part via Aqua Medic 3000 dosing pumps
DIY BRS Bio Pellet Reactor
GFO and Carbon Ractor
4 MP40ES Wireless with Neptune APEX WXM
4 Apollo Dimmable Leds Soler Blast with Apex VDM
Reef Flow Dart


My goal with this build is to set up a semi automated waterchange system.

Below is my tank that will be delivered 4/2/2012

This is my grow-out tank until the 320 is ready for SPS corals.

Its a standard 90 gallon. I have the 4 mp40's on it and two apollo LEDS. Most of the frags started at 1". I have had it set up since November. I had a 180 and 125. The 180 was sold and all fish transfered to the 125 pictured.

Please post up some pics of the lights when they come in. I run a 375 and was debating giving three of these a try since they have such good spread while maintaining par. Plus I already have the apex and vdm.

I have two on a 90 and its too bright. According to Joe at Apollo each ligh should cover 24" square by 36 deep. I will be using four of these.

Great looking tank and stand. Equipment looks great as well. The MP40's should be okay for a while. As the SPS start to fill in, 2 MP60's will be ideal. They are sooo expensive though - something has to give when upgrading like this and I think you have spent your money in the right places. It looks like you've got a good seat on the sectional. : )

Can't wait to see it with water!

Do you think you got enough tank. Lol
And nice angelfish but if they stay in to long you might have a ammonia spike. Lol

Okay - Got the sump in. Two of the Apollo LEDS and mounting brackets In. The rockscape done. The tank did not have anything to bolt stuff too so I did a half backpanel on the canopy and stand. Tomorrow will be the plumbing.
