Hello, new to the game from miami

martinelias1983 · Mar 25, 2019

As the title implies, I'm new, so hello!
Just ordered my first tank and got a waterbox peninsula 7226 plus and also got an aquamaxx cones q3 skimmer and an ecotech marine vectra l1 DC pump... so far that's about all I have ordered, looking to order an ato and 2 gyre 350s and I guess that would be it for now while I get started. Oh yeah gonna get a brs rodi system. A 7 stage 200gpd, also some dry rock, some sand and then some salt obviously.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi and if anyone has any suggestions I'd happily receive them, looking forward to meeting some of yous guys.

Thanks guys I appreciate it.
Forget to mention I was about to pull the trigger on 2 eheim 300w heaters but the folks over at marinedepot (where I ordered the tank and 2 pieces of equipment) told me the heaters would not fit in the sump (which is where I wanted it), so i didnt order.
Any suggestions on a heater layout to heat this thing?
I'm in miami and the heaters would only be fighting against my indoor ac, which would most likely be around 75f during the day and just 2 or 3 degrees less at night. Any suggestions?

Thanks, I plan on it, but since I'm moving mid April I opted to wait to set everything up until then, for now just ordering different things I might need to get started.

Welcome to reef2reef! Make a build thread! For the heaters check out finnex if there’s any lengths that will fit your sump. They are good like Eheim jagers as well.
