So about a year ago I sold off my 93 cube and decided to upgrade. After several quotes from companies I decided on SCA to build my tank.
After several emails back and forth we finally settled in on the tank dimensions and a few special requests. Got the tank in around Aug ‘17, where it sad for about 18 months due to work and home life getting in the way.
Fast forward to this week. I finally uncrate the tank.....I find this
Now at this point I’m stressed to the max as I should have inspected the tank when it arrived. So I email Steve the pics of the tank and fully expect him to say good luck with your adventure. Then I call almost immediately afterward because I have no patience. He’s super busy and says he will get right back to me. Didn’t know they got some weather in and forced him to scramble with some things.
So I call the next morning and Steve says send me an email with the dimensions and the requests and I will have one out on Monday. WHAT!!!! He says that’s how we operate. Holy Cow! I have never met a company that would ever think of doing that.
If Steve’s out there a big thank you goes out. This build is because of you!
Now that is getting taken care of the build is back on.
Here is what I have or coming so far.
Tank: SCA 187 gallon 60Lx30Wx24H - drilled for Synergy 16” overflow
Sump: Bashsea SS-48
Lighting: AquaticLife 48” 4x54 Hybrid with 3 Noopsyche LED lights
Return Pump: Jebao DC pump (I think it’s a 6000)
Skimmer: Bubble Magus Curve 9 (I’m a skimmer junkie so this always changes)
Heater: Finnex Titanium
Controller: Apex
Water movement: Jebao pumps with Apex control and a gyre (Also will change)
I haven’t decided on a fuge or algae reactor yet but I want the extra space in the sump for a frag grow out area. I have a CPR hang on back refugium but still unsure what to do there.
