Hello all! First post here on the forum so intro- I'm Ryan how yall doin? As the title states I'm in the process of planning a 3xl build after about 15 years away from the hobby, had a power outage that claimed the life of my mixed reef and subsequent hiatus to collect my thoughts. After missing it dearly I've decided to jump back in!!
So what I plan: a 240 mixed reef
Location: above ground basement on a 121" wall (tank is 79") that on the other side is a largish half bath that will pull double duty/doody rodi/salt mix and processed food/drink waste station
Going with the red sea tank, stand, sump, but will likely go all ecotech for lighting, return and closed loop and powerheads as it can be adjusted and controlled by the mobius app.
May consider other lighting options and still open on protein skimmer. The sump will have chaeto and the extra separate chamber will more than likely be ATO.
First things first on this build I have to replace the carpet in the basement with tile (wood look tile herringbone pattern, awesome i know).
Then rodi system with either closed tanks or old school Rubbermaid 55gl cans
Anyways that's my plan!! Happy reefing yall and before pics and build pics to follow!
