I've been a long time lurker on the forum as i got started with the reefing hobby about a year and a half ago. I've learned so many things from the members here which has been a huge help. So its about time I officially join the forum!
After 19 months of owning a Biocube 32 and a Biocube 16 for a quarantine tank, i finally upgraded to a new Waterbox Marine X 90.3 with Radion X30 G6 lighting. I'm taking my time as i plan my set up so will get started after new year. Hopefully take advantage of any after xmas sales.
From my research so far, here is what I'm planning to go with:
1. Hydros X4/XP8 Pro Pack controller
2. VarioS 4 Return Pump
3. Red Sea Reefmat 500 ( after modifying the sump)
4. Reef Octopus ESsence S-130 skimmer
5. Nyos Torq 1.0 media reactor
6. IceCap 2K Gyre Wave P6ump with Hydros Wave Engine controllers
7. Various Hydros sensors and ATO
8. IceCap battery backup.
9. Two BRS 200W heaters with controller
The tank will be primarily softies and LPS so one Radion X30 Gen 6 will be enough since the new version has a spread of 42 inches? Same with the wave pump as i don't think i need more flow if I'm not doing SPS.
Thoughts and advice welcome!
