Hello fellow hobbyists!
I am planning on creating a 125 gallon LEGO themed reef tank. I currently have a 72 gallon bowfront tank with some equipment and a number of LEGO figurines, LEGO sharks, and a LEGO submarine which I plan on transferring to the new tank I bought. I will transfer over the live sand and most of the liverock structures (this also includes corals/anemones so going for a reef safe tank). I have attached a diagram of the tank to this post. I am looking for any opinions, suggestions, or idea on my design so feel free to respond and let me know what you think! The fish, corals, and cleanup crew will be transferred into the new tank as well. In short the tank will consist of:
A 125 gallon reef ready display tank containing the following fish:
Transferred from the current 72 g tank
Foxface Rabbitfish
Lawnmower Blenny
Exquisite Fairy Wrasse
Striped Sleeper Goby
Neon Striped Goby
Yellow Clown Goby
Midnight Clownfish
Royal Gramma
2 x Zebra Barred Goby
Possible fish to add (looking for opinions!)
2 x additional Zebra Barred Boby
1 x Tang (Lieutenant, Orange Shoulder, Sailfin, Blue Hippo)
1 x Squareback Anthias or similar
1 x additional Midnight Clownfish (make a pair with current clown)
5 x Green Chromis
1 x Green War Paint Clown Goby
1 x Goby/Pistol Shrimp Pair
1 x Pygmy Ring Eye Goby
1 x or 3 x Clearfin Squirrels
2 x Lamark Angels (pair)
Various Corals and Annenome
Serpent star (transferred)
Hermit crabs (transferred)
2 x Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (transferred)
1 x Fire Shrimp (transferred)
1 x Emerald Crab (transferred)
2 x pom pom crab (transferred)
Various snails
A 20 gallon acrylic sump with filter socks, 3 gallon hang on refugium, protein skimmer, manifold intake)
A 20 gallon high display refugium with planted mangroves and a frogfish (connected via a pump and drilled on overflow)
A 20 to 30 gallon hexagon tank with a mantis shrimp (connected via pump manifold and drilled on overflow)
One area I do possibly need help is connecting the 0 - 10 volt dimmable t5 lights to the hydros controller. I plan on using the quad 0 - 10 volt cable to connect to the attached set of lights (x4 36 in long package) (https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/dimmable-t5-ho-miro-4-retrofit-kit-let-lighting.html)
Besides all that, let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions!
Thanks all!
