Hey y'all,
I have been in my house 2 years and have had my 75g tank running for 1.5 years, with the ups and downs. I have decided to upgrade to my dream tank. Being this is the biggest tank I have owned, I will need some help and advice from my R2R family. I pick up the tank tomorrow after I go to Reef-a-Palooza. This is going to be a slower build than my last one, I want to do it right the first time and learn from past mistakes (hopefully).
Tank: Glasscages 240g Reef Ready Long 96x24x24 - 2 overflows with 1.5" drain and 1" return.
Stand: Glasscages 96x24x30 Birch stand
Sump: Synergy SS44 - 44x18x18 (blue and white)
Controller: New Apex (Bought today)
Dosing pump: Bubble Magus BM-T11
Return Pump: Either the Vectra L1 or Reef Octopus Varios-8 (haven't decided yet)
DT flow: I have 2 MP40QD's already. I don't know what else to go with ( 2 gyres, Tunze, or Rossmont Mover 4100)
Lights: Already have 1 - 48" ATI 8x54w Dimmable, going to get another one.
Skimmer: Bubble Magus Curve 9, might have to upgrade when I get a higher bioload.
Rocks: none yet, but going to go for a minimalistic bonsai theme (ideas in my head).
I don't know if I am going to go bare bottom or Tropic Eden Reef Flakes.
Any opinions or advice is more than welcome. I will be updating more during the process.
