Hey Everyone, its been a few years since I have been in the hobby, but now I have the time and money to jump back in. Im in a unique situation where my other main hobbies are CNC Routing, 3d Printing, and CAD design, so I plan to DIY a lot of this build.
The Plan:
-150 Gal SCA, 60x24x24 Tank
-Custom Built Stand by me, CNC Routed laminated marine plywood
-Custom Built Sump by me, CNC Routed PVC and Acrylic
-Apex Controller
-3x Nicrew LED 150w Controlled by Apex
-Apex ATO kit with Leak Detection sensor
-Neptune Cor-20 return pump
-Skimmer undecided
-2x Neptune Wav for circulation
-Neptune GRO light for Fuge
-Custom Roller Filter by me PVC/Acrylic
-2x BRS Titanium Heaters, with 2x BRS Heater controller for redundancy
-Probable -- Carbon Filter, Kalkwasser Dosing/Reactor, GFO maybe?
Looks like I will start out pretty heavy into the Neptune line of equipment, all the integrations they have built seem really great if they actually work!
Here is a pic of how the stand design, I have fancy wall panels in my office and I plan to make the stand look as though its just an extension of the wall. Sump and gear will still be inside the stand. There is an office closet that sits behind the left 12" or so of the stand which is where I will keep the ATO tank and electrical gear.
Things to decide:
-Sump layout
-Dosing and/or reactors... what all do I want
-which skimmer
Tank should be here this week, ill take the official measurement and start the stand design and build.
Thanks for the follow, let me know what you think about the equipment.
