Welcome! This is my third tank but by far the largest and most exciting, I didn't start a build thread for my outgoing 40 breeder but always loved the idea of documenting progress! I am really looking forward to setting this tank up and hopefully making it into a beautiful reef!
I was never actually planning on upgrading, I was just going to restart my current tank and do things differently, but I got a great deal on a second hand 120 gallon tank, sump and cabinet as well as a few other bits, and I couldn't turn it down!
The tank in question is rimless with dimensions 50"x24"x24", the sump dimensions are 36"x20"x20"
Equipment list:
Lighting:
2x AI Hydra 52 HD LEDs (only have one unit at the moment)
Flow:
Vortech MP10 with Quiet Drive
Jebao WP40 (will upgrade to an MP40)
Skimmer:
Bubble Magus Curve 7
Return:
Eheim 1260 centrifugal return pump
Other:
UV Steriliser
Reef Octopus External Overflow
2x Fluval 300w Digital Heater
I still need to get an ATO and an RO/DI unit so any suggestions are welcome!
I'll be using 45lb of Red Sea Reef Base Fiji Pink Aragonite Live Sand and 60lb of Caribsea Life Rock.
The tank is going to be a mixed reef with a couple of softies thrown in, I definitely want to try my hand at keeping an anemone with this tank too, I've always been too worried about them going for a walk and destroying the tank in the process. How much should I be worrying?
I am probably forgetting a few details, but I've got the basics down. Feedback is appreciated!
Thanks for reading!
