Greetings All,
I've decided to document the building of my new Waterbox 130.4 along with the transfer of my current 75 gallon mixed reef to the new tank. The 75 has been up and running in some form for about a year now (started in a 20 gallon AIO, quickly graduated to a 75) and has had several setbacks and successes. Most recently I've been fishless for about a month for the second time after losing a nice yellow eye kole and flame fin tomini tang to ich. Current stock of fish living in a 40 gb until the fishless period is over includes a foxface, mombasa lion, melanarus wrasse, and 4 sapphire damsels. There's a snowflake eel in there too but I'm going topless on the 130 so he'll go to a friend who is taking the 40 setup off my hands when I'm done with it.
Current Set Up
75 Gallon Marineland, home-drilled overflow
Trigger Systems Sump
Skimmer, unkown brand
Mag drive return pump, unknown brand
Aquatop 300 watt titanium heater
4x ATI T5 in homemade hood
Icecap 3K gyre pump
New Waterbox 130.4 (scheduled to be delivered the week of 2/17/20)
130.4 tank (48x24x22ish, 100 gallonish display)
2x Maxspect XF330 gyre pumps
Rimless dual cascading filter sock sump included (30ish gallons)
Vectra M2 return pump
Ecotech battery back-up
Battery back-up booster (required for vectra to back-up connection)
Reeflink
Nyos 160 skimmer
Neptune Apex EL
Neptune Trident
Neptune DOS X2 mounted in basement (one dosing 2 part, the other for AWC)
2 extra fluid level sensors to monitor level of top off container and saltwater container for AWC
Neptune ATK
Aquatop 300 watt titanium heater (did me right so far)
Aquatic Life Gen 1 T5/LED hybrid
4x ATI 54 watt T5
2x Kessil A360X in Hybrid fixture

20 gallon ATO reservoir in basement

Current 75 with rock and corals piled back in after fish removal:
I'm thinking I'll need to add another A360X at some point to ramp up the total light for better sps growth but we'll see. Let me know what you think about the equipment list.
