It is time to finally start a build thread! I've had several tanks, but never documented them on R2R in a build thread. Currently I have a 120 Gallon SPS dominant and 80 Gallon frag tank setup. The new tank will also be SPS dominant and will be located where the 80 frag tank is now. Here's what I have planned for the new tank so far...
Tank: 225 gallon (72"l x 30"d x 24"h) Planet Aquarium custom tank with PVC bottom. It has an external overflow with 3 - 1.5" drains and 2 - 3/4" returns on the back wall.
Lighting: (3) Radion Gen 4 Pro's mounted in a 61" Aquatic Life Hybrid fixture. I realize the fixture will be 6" short on either end. However, I plan on keeping the rock work ~6" from the ends, so it shouldn't matter too much.
Sump: Tideline 48” sump
Return Pump: Reef Octopus Varios 6
Flow: 2 - MP 60 QD & 2 MP 40 QD
Skimmer: Reef Octopus Elite 220
