Let the madness begin. Been in and out of the hobby for many years and of course, here we go again. Started back in the day when the Berlin systems were the thing in So Cal. Fast forward and a few systems later, Im in Texas and ready to build which to me will be my dream system. SPS and many fish will be the focus. Can't get away from the sticks. Going to list some details below of the plan but know things could and will have changes as I go. Greatly appreciate any feedback and looking forward to sharing my build as it progresses.
- Tank - 72" x 48" x 20" - Ctr overflow, rear returns, blk back and going to have a white bottom (more to come on the bottom of tank). Currently being built by John @ Advanced Acrylics.
- Stand - 72" x 48" x 38" (pictured below) Just assembled it today and purchased from AluFab. Great quality, everything needed and price wise, they hands down beat every place I called by a significant amount.
- Sump - 60" x 24" x 16" plus I will have a 16" x 24" x 20" refugium. All white PVC materials also coming from John @ Advanced Acrylics. His prices on both were unbeatable.
- Lighting is planned to be 7 - 60" Orphek light bars
- Unsure on skimmer brand at this point but will be going external.
- Ca reactor
- Flow, well you know, lots of it.
Back to the tank having a white bottom. Going bare and have seen a few like this. Always liked the white sand look so this will be the next best thing.
Many more things in mind as usual but will continue to update as things progress. Hope to have sump and tank in the next 3 to 4 weeks.
