Hello,
I currently have a 210 Planet Aquarium tank that was installed in May of 2020, the tank will need to be moved temporarily so I figured I might as well upgrade to the largest tank my wife would allow. The target for the tank will be around the end of October to early November.
The tank will be made by Glass Cages. @Joe Glass Cages has been nothing but outstanding to work with through the planning. I called him with one tank in mind and ended up with something completely different but none the less it has been a pleasure so far.
Specs-
Stand-
Stand will be a custom aluminum stand from Frametech, another outstanding company to work with. I still have to figure out who will do the skin.
Sump-
Ordered from Advanced Acrylics 60x24x16 PVCS154GR (Blue welds) with 3 - 1.5" bh drains, 2 - 3/4" bh return holes, and 8 dosing lines in the dosing/reactor section. Added lid to the dosing section
Lighting-
6 Orphek Icons
I currently have 4 Stratons over my 210, I love these lights and currently couldn't be happier with the growth and coloring of the SPS, trying the GNC's out. Edit: Replaced GNC’s with Orphek Icons
Flow-
4 MP60's
Sump equipment-
2 Royal Exclusiv Speedy return pumps
Royal Exclusiv Deluxe 200
MP10 in the sump
Dosing-
2 Neptune DOS and I also have a DOS in the garage for AWC. Royal Exclusiv triple dosing container.
Testing-
Currently using both the Trident and the Alkatronic, the Alkatronic was a recent purchase that I'm testing. Was off to a very rough start with it but has been working great other than being too noisy for my liking.
Added a Mastertronic
Control-
Apex 2016 with 2 power bars
Heaters-
Dual Aqua Logic controllers with 2 BRS titanium elements
ATO-
SpectraPure Ultra Precise ATO
Rock-
3 Aquaroche XL structures with ocean live rock in the sump
AWC, ATO, Mixing tank setup-
RODI setup-
I have 270+ TDS water with chloramines, water is absolutely horrible. I use a 1-micron sediment filter -> 5 carbon blocks -> 2 Chloramine Monsters -> 2 75 GPD Membranes ->6 stages of DI. Booster pump is set to 90 PSI.
