Well the 125 I was running went down hill for no apparent reason. Coral died. A hand full of fish died. So I decided I was going to give up the hobby and just watch others tanks from the shadows. That was until a couple of my buddies builds started making me want to get back into things and build a well thought out system like they were doing. So for the past couple months I've planned out a system that will have all the necessities. The fish room is only about 50% done but here's some pictures. My 30 is on a stand under my stair inside the fish room. The sump is on the ground in front of the 30. There will be a stand over the sump for a qt, fuge, and salt water storage. There's an ato under the 30. The room is very small but will hold everything pretty much perfectly the way I've designed. Since the room is small it's hard to take pictures. There will be a manifold added at a later date. The marine pure block is in the sump now. Also I either plan on putting a bathroom vent or a dehumidifier in there also to help control humidity. At a later date the 93 will go where the 125 is currently sitting and it will be a fowlr tank. Going to try to take this build as slow as I can. Don't want to rush anything and make mistakes like I've done in the past.
Equipment list
Tank: deep blue 30 rimless
Marineland rimless 93
Skimmer: reef octopus classic 225 int
Sump: acrylic sump unknown manufacturer 3 chamber 48x16x15
Flow:
Return- jebao dc12000
In 30- 1 rw4 and 1 rw8
In 93- 2 rw15 and maybe 1 rw8
Eventually upgrading everything to ecotech
Lighting:
30- sun blaze 4 bulb t5
93- undecided
Calcium Reactor:
Precision marine
ATO:
Diy ato with dual float switches
Heaters:
2 300w jagers
Extra:
-Apex with temp probe and 2 ph probes
-brs dual reactor
-seperate fuge
Pretty sure that covers everything. I will be running a quarantine this time and I'll have fresh saltwater mixed and ready to go for water changes or emergencies.
