What’s up all I have been lurking a while now and have had several reef aquariums over the last decade. From 10 to 250 gallons. Im about to do my basement and have been contemplating the following tanks.
48x84x24
48x96x24
44x72x24
All peninsula style
I am between miracles and custom aquariums for the build I have 8 xr30 g6 blues I scored at a KILLER deal new in box
I’m just concerned with the demands and if I will fail I have a 75 now with a fishroom sump in the basement that’s 8x12 and 65 gallon salt with 110 gallon ro mix stations. I am versed in plumbing and fish rooms and always have been. This will be my forever home for the next decade. So I feel like it’s time.
the tank will back up to the fishroom and the sump and qt systems will be inside there.
I am looking at Luna bash sea and advanced acrylics for the sump build. With it being roughly 72x20x18 with two vectras on 1” returns and a closed loop vectors blowing from the front back to the overflow to minimize power heads.
wht are some other members experiences before I take the plunge? What’s too big and what’s the sweet spot ? I am leaning towards the 48x72x24
I have planned a 100 cfm air exchanger for humidity in the fishroom area and a standard dehumidifier on the wall draining into sink
we are laying the basement out in solid works and I can post drawings soon for review
thanks !
