Hey guys, brief intro.....I'm basically new to reefing. I have three tanks all setup within the last 6-8 months; a 46 mixed tank, a 90 FOWLR, and a 50 Lowboy frag system. As it happens with many of us.... I've been bitten by the reefing bug. Over the last 3-4 months I've been deal hunting, snagging all of my bits and pieces to build up my system. Before I start picture dumping, I figured I'd lay out my plans and equipment, just in case I'm missing something.
Equipment:
Keep it simple.....stupid. I know I'm new... so I lack the years of experience many of you guys have, but I am an avid researcher and have learned a thing or two from running these 3 tanks all at once fairly manually. For this system I'm going to be running as large of a fuge as I can fit in the 75. I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with chaeto or find another fun effective macro for my nutrient export. I will be running the Deltec Kalk Stirrer inline with my ATO to take care of Cal/Alk/PH while I assess my tanks needs and desires.
Equipment:
- 210G Aqueon Reef Ready Tank
- Custom built stand to match cabinetry in our home
- 75G Aqueon Tank (relegated to sump duty)
- RO 202-S for all skimming
- Jebao CP-40 x 2 Gyres (have some of these in my current tanks and LOVE them
- Jebao PP 15 x 1 just in case I need some more flow somewhere
- Jebao DCT9 2300 GPH return pump
- Deltec Kalk Stirrer
- Tunze 3155 ATO
- Neptune Apex Controller
- AI Hyrda 52HD x2 and 26hd x2 (I currently only have one 26hd..hunting a bargain on another)
- Ehiem Jäger 300w heater x 2
