I've been thinking of jumping back into the hobby for several years now (after a decade or so break) and finally pulled the trigger on a new 90g build. Lots of lurking, researching, and planning has been going on for the past 8 or 9 months, but I'm fully committed now after placing an order last week for a new 90g rimless 36" Planet Aquariums Mega Matrix tank. The tank will go in my basement office/man-cave area with the sump and equipment located behind the tank wall on the utility side of my basement. Here's the equipment plan so far:
Things already purchased/ordered:
36X24X24 90g rimless Planet Aquarium with external overflow
Tideline 48 sump by Trigger Systems
DIY Built-in stands for tank and sump
BRS 4 Stage Water Saver RO/DI
(2) BRS Titanium 600W Heaters w/Inkbird controller
Klir Di-7 Filter Roller
Reef Octopus Regal 150-INT Skimmer w/Neck Cleaner
Avast Marine Davey Jones Skimmate Locker
(2) AI Prime 16HD
Still being decided:
Powerheads = Leaning toward Maxspect Gyre 350
Return = Leaning toward (2) Reef Octopus VarioS 4's, but looking at Cor-15's if I go with Apex control
Controller = Way undecided between Apex and Hydros
ATO = Somewhat dependent on Controller decision
I'm still a little undecided on the Klir, but got a great deal on an open-box buy....I figured I could start with the socks, play around with the Klir and see how it goes. Was really leaning towards the Trigger Platinum 39, but wanted the additional sump volume of the 48".
More to come....
