Exciting news my new build has been ordered and started! I decided to upgrade from my Red Sea XXL750 to a Tsunami 96" x 36" x 24". I wanted the peace of mind with an acrylic tank being this size (bare bottom so don't need to worry about sand). I think total system will be approx. 400 with the sump. Here are the current specs of what I am planning but am flexible. I will be pulling most of my equipment from the 750.
Tank is going to have an external overflow with 3 1.5" drains with 2 1" returns on the overflow side. Also, I will have 2 1" drains for a closed loop system. Here is the cad with my hooky dookie edit of the 2 returns for the closed loop on the far end.
I must say Scott has been nice to work with and has put valuable feedback threw the design. As the CAD has not been signed off on, should I move any holes?
Flow will be provided by 2 MP60s and 2 MP40s on the overflow wall that I will be pulling from my 750. I do have 2 extra MP40s that I can add if I need more flow on the far end. The closed loop that will be on the far end will be provided by my 2 Vectra M2 (already have but could change in future- Remember "budget right now").
Filtration / Sump is going to be handled by a Synergy SK60 with dual Clarisea 5000 rollers. I purchased a Royal Exclusiv Supermarian 250 but Royal said it will likely be too much, so I am going to pull my double cone 200 over from the 750 per Royal's recommendation. I will see how it handles the larger volume. I plan on using a Royal Exclusiv RD3 230w for my return pump. I will also be running 2 reactors for GFO and Carbon. One of the returns will have my Pentair UV plumbed in like I am currently running. OF course I will be running Cheato in my refugium that is lit by my Kessel A160.
Stand is going to be built using the Alufab system.
Feedback is welcome and needed. I am about 2 months away from the system being up. I got excited to tell the world and will be filling this build with plenty of pics and info as I get this all ready.
Happy Holidays!
