Hello everyone,
I started on R2R yesterday and was welcomed very generously. Thank you all for making people feel welcome. I've never been into social media so this is very new to me.
Anyway, I've started constructing (more like assembling) a Planet Aquarium 120 drilled tank that I ordered through my LFS. I also ordered the glass tops to keep any jumpers at bay and to help battle evaporation.
I've also got the sump finished. It is a 40 breeder with baffles added for 3 compartments. First compartment will be filled full with seachem matrix. Second chamber is for all of the equipment (skimmer, heater, reactors, etc). Then the final chamber will house the return pump. I've also added a split from the return line to power the 25 watt UV sterilizer. Also a check valve so I don't have to worry as much on the depth of my return nozzles.
Next will be getting the sump plumbed to the tank and getting the coral inserts ordered (fish only but wanted some color and plenty of hiding spots for the fish).
As you can see it only has a few pipefish in it at the moment!! Lol
Still debating whether or not to paint the back panel black. Guess I better decide before filling this thing up.
Equipment so far:
AquaUV 25watt sterilizer with wiper, reef octopus 200int, current USA e-flux (3100GPH) DC return pump.
