Hello everyone, its time for a new build thread. I will be moving into a new house in the next two months and instead of moving my old tank I decided it would be easier for me to purchase a new one and move the inhabitants to that. I currently have a 60 gallon cube but will be ordering shortly a Red Sea Reefer XL 300. The idea behind this is keep all the Aiptasia from my old tank hopefully out of this new one. The equipment list is going to be essentially the same as my old tank minus a few small changes.
Current Equipment List
Ecotech Marine XR 15 - 2
Maxspect Gyre XF-230 - 2
Ecotech Marine MP-10 - 2
NYOS Quantium 160
Ecotech Marine M2
Apex EL
Apex Trident
Apex DOS
Apex VDM
Apex B/O with custom 3d printed box and switches
Apex FMM
Apex ATK V2
BRS Co2 reactor
BRS Media Reactor
Since 1.5 pump
Most of this is going to stay the same but some could change. First thing Im going to be doing is ordering some new rock and getting it aquascaped and then putting into a brute and getting it cycled. After that I will order the new tank and get the stand assembled so Its all prepped and ready for the new house.
Stock List
Foxface (owned)
Scopas Tang (owned)
6 line Wrasse (owned)
Platinum Clown (owned x2)
Diamond Goby (owned)
Firefish (owned)
Flamehawk (possibility)
Mandarin (possibility)
I dont know exactly what kind of other fish I may want. I might move my current wrasse into the frag tank and purchase a different one that is possibly less problematic with tank mates. If anyone has a suggestion please let me know!
Somethings I have thought about but really know until I get the tank and can look at everything (I've never had a Red Sea tank or even really looked at one) is turning the ATO into a separate refugium and getting a larger ATO container (I don't like filling them up as often). Im also trying to figure out if I want a controller board or just want to use the inside of the cabinet to store everything in. I will keep everyone updated as things happen.
