So, I am formerly known as BoneXriffic on here (was unaccessable). It has been a long time since I've been around. Messy divorce and all the related drama! This forced me to sell my 90g mixed reef. I had alot of fun with that tank. But now I have clawed my way back to where I am ready. I live in Florida on a salt water marsh. I have crabs, shrimp and array of fish that live just in my backyard and now I want to bring some of that life inside with a new 200xl RSR!
The tank as of today has shipped and alot of equipment recently arrived from BRS. I'm using a curve 5 bubble magus skimmer. I was used to the Reef octos but decided to try this on the new build. Also I purchased a Syncra Silent 1.5 Pump from Sicce. Rating is 357gph which I've now seen may be too small. If so I will get a bigger one and use that as a utility pump.
I decided to keep things streamlined with two AI Prime 16s and an AI Nero 5 power head. I plan to do some sps high in the tank and I feel this should suffice after some kind advice from the forum.
I also picked up a BRS 4stage RODI unit.
I'll be making about a 1 inch sand bed and then spend a month designing my aquascape because my OCD is terrible. I also plan to use tropic Marin salt. I've heard great things!
I would love advice on the return pump situation! Tank should be here next week and then the fun begins. Untill then I made a card board cut out sized to the tank so I can work on rock design!
