Scuba Shane's Floor Build!

[ScubaShane]

Greetings Reefers! This is my 150 gallon floor build. My tank is a SCA-150g 60"x24"x24". It will be a Low Maintenance Automation (LMA) tank.

**UPDATE** - New tank. Old tank torn down.
New Tank FTS as of 11/05/22

@sneub Thanks.

This is Chingchai's 1000gal SPS Tank in Thailand. This was my inspiration for a floor build. I just want to sit on the couch and stare!

I sold my old 250g to the owner of my LFS. He made it his display tank behind the counter.

I want to go with a roller mat sump for the new build.

Undecided about lights.

@Daniel Thanks.

What return pumps are you guys using to control with your Apex?

This is a side shot from my old 250g. I'm saving some frags for the new build.

I kept a frag of my purple stylo.

Also kept a frag of my teal candy cane

Hey there! I have the same tank. Looking for any advice on how you plumbed your returns. (2 pumps, split it or just used one?) I know it comes with the durso kit but I really am thinking of changing that.

I just had the one pump teed off to the two return pipes.

I just have the one pump teed off to the two return pipes. The little pump is my ATO. View attachment 814079

Awesome! Thanks a ton. I am thinking of the same idea [emoji3]
