Fiji cube 142gal ext future build plan and progress

[Nelsons_reef]

Alright decided to go ahead and make a build thread for my future tank. After researching for some time and weighing the pros/cons of many different company’s I have settled on a Fiji Cube tank/stand/sump. The tank will be the Fiji Cube 142 ext measuring in at 60x24x24. I chose to go with this company due to the many reviews that I have came across attesting to the company’s quick response and great customer service, along with very high quality products. This tank will be a mixed reef tank as I am not drawn to any certain type of coral and I love the swaying and movement of euphyllia.

equipment will be as follows:
Tank-Fiji Cube 142ext 60x24x24
Cabinet-Fiji Cube
Sump-Fiji Cube Fiji-30 30x15x16
custom acrylic lid
Lighting- G5 Radion XR15 blue x5
Return pump-Vectra L2
Power Heads- mp40 x2

Heater- 600watt brs titanium x2
Controller-GHL p4 with kh director

Doser-GHL
Calcium reactor-not sure if I’ll be running one or not

Thinking 5 radions may be too many? May change to 4... opinions?

 

[Devaji]

^ not a Radion guy so I cant say. maybe some that uses them will chime in.

Little change in lighting planning.... still going with radion’s but thinking of going with a t5 hybrid with 3 radion’s opinions?

Any reason you went external over flow? I'm seriously considering the 108 int corner from FIJI. I'll be follow your thread, good luck!

On the lighting from: I've always been a kessil fan. I will do a T5 hybrid with 3 kessil x when the time comes. Just my 2cents

I think I’m going to switch to the 108 ext.... I like the external due to the fact I personally think it makes the inside of the tank look cleaner
