Planning out lights and flow while work is slow. I think starting out I should be good for lighting. Just need to pick up 3 more quanta light bars. Kinda brain stormed how I’m going to do the rights as well. Was going to order the tank this month but the wife wants a new sectional. Not to upset about it though, it’s the one for the basement so I’ll be able to relax on the new couch and watch the tank.
For the scape I’m think start high for the sps, I think I drew it to high. Might keep it down to 15” tall max are to allow for growth, then gradually get lower until the 3’ mark and just drop off. The lower area will be for the LPS and then the last 2 feet will be just scattered caves and low shelves for softies and open swimming area. I don’t just want the scape to be for the coral but also the fish. I want to incorporate caves, coves, arches, pass throughs from front to back.
Hopefully December I’ll be able to order the tank, but we will see. Hard planning the new build while trying to get furniture in the bigger house so it doesn’t feel so empty.
Will keep updating as I go!
