Greetings!
I'm starting a 90g tank in my new apartement and would like to share that with you guys. This is going to be my 5th reef tank and my 12th (or so) aquarium since I started into this hobby.
The project will probably progress slowly beacuse I would like to use all my knowledge as well as yours (suggestions and feedback is most welcome) and figure out all details, plan them and execute them according to plan instead of just trying stuff at random.
The tank is a custom built acrylic tank being built right now by Schuran seawater equipment in Germany. Soon it is being shipped to Stockholm, Sweden, where I live. The tank is 110cm long, 60cm wide and 50cm high. Thats 43" x 23" x 19" or so. 330 liter or approx 90 gallon. The tank will have a black bottom and backside, not painted, it´s going to be black acrylic on those sides. I am (at least starting) going to run it as a bare bottom tank.
I'm going to try and automate and build redundant failsafes for as much as possible in the tank to provide at stable environment, but also because I travel and work a lot. Lastly also because maintenance is something I always try to keep at a minimum. Hands out of the tank
The above drawing is the final blueprint from Schuran which I accepted and they are building. For the stand I have made a drawing in Sketchup and are now waiting for quotes from carpenters to have it built. The stand are going to be built in 30mm black Valchromat.
The stand is going to have cabinet doors also, but they are excluded in this sketch. The doors are going to be flush (I think you say that) to the rest of the stand. The left side is going to house the sump and some electrical outlets. The right side is going to house the ATO container. I'm currently thinking of a way to mount all controllers and stuff outside the tank on a board or something like it.
Above is the sump and ATO container. Both are from german company Royal Exclusiv. The design differ a bit on them because I have bought them on different occasions (I like to wait for good deals..). Both have integrated LED light so I can see whats going on inside.
