Hello all,
After a long break from hobby, I am back with a bigger tank build. I am planning to keep an sps dominant tank but with ban on Indonesian coral exports I am not sure how well or fast this process will go. Australian corals are very beautiful but also quite expensive here.
Currently I am waiting for the drain pipes to be installed which will hopefully be today and after that I will start filling the tank.
Some info on the dimentions
Tank
Display Tank
Size: 150cm x 70cm x 55cm(h) ~570 liters 15 mm glass.
Sump
Size: 100cm x 50cm x 45cm(h) ~100 liters 10 mm glass.*
Tank will be lit by an ATI Sunpower 8 bulb 54w unit which i hang from the ceiling. I will use 5 ATI Blue Plus, 1 ATI Coral Plus, 1 ATI Aquablue Special, 1 ATI Purple Plus bulbs.
Return will be handled by a Vectra M2, I picked a set of Maxspect Gyre 350s as wavemakers. Vectra is connected to a car battery as a back up in case of power loss. Unfortunately Maxspect doesnt include the power backup cable in the box anymore. They are not available here yet either, so I have to wait a while before i can get them. I dont know why maxspect removed those oob from 3xx series. Bad decision imo.
My good old Profilux P3 will handle the tanks automation.
There is 30 kg of Aquaforest AF Rock and a Brightwell XPort Bio brick to aid the biological filtration and a Royal Exclusiv Doublecone 200 will handle the skimming.
As the tank progresses, or as people show interest I will add more pictures and information.
