SR 120 Build Plan

[cdbean]

I'm thinking about going with an SR 120 as an intermediate step before building a 10x3x2' tank. I have a few IM AIO's already but I'm looking for feedback on this build from anyone that has a large AIO.

Prospective equipment so far:

2x ATI Straton X
2x Nature Dimensions filter rollers
2x Tunze 9004 DC skimmers
Inkbird Controller
2x 500w Titanium heating elements
2x Jebao Gyres
2-3 AI Nero 5
120 lbs Tropic Eden Mesoflakes
120 lbs Tropic Eden Morocca rock - I only used 22 lbs in my 50 Lagoon so it's too much but I don't mind having extra for other tanks
10 gal. Bashsea ATO resevoir
Tunze Osmolator ATO
Maybe a Planck and inD aF4 feeder

It will be for smaller tangs and angels that will eventually move to the larger tank. I'm not an SPS guy so mostly softies and LPS would go in this tank.

I'm really looking for thoughts on skimmers, UV, feeders and lids. I'm trying to keep a fairly streamlined look and any suggestions are appreciated.

This is looking good! Have you looked into Simplicity and Reef Octo skimmers?

Do you have any thoughts on the RO Classic 2000 HOB? I have an AquaReady 1.5 on my 50 and it works great but it’s loud so I don’t really want another one. My other thought was to plumb a Bashsea or RO skimmer externally but I think that’s probably overkill.
