Hello to all!
I am in the process of building a new reef system.
Hopefully it will be complete before the arrival of our first child in February.
It will be somewhat of an upgrade from my 40breeder aqueon display and 20L aqueon DIY sump. Mainly in quality vs size. Some equipment will carry over from the current setup.
Heres what has been planned so far.
Tank: placed a custom order for a 36x18x18 1/2" starphire tank from CDA through neptunes in San Jose. Will be here sometime in July.
Fitted with a 16 " synergy shadow v2 overflow.
Stand: Self built custom fir stand (not finished)
Sump: Fiji cube 24
vectra S1 return pump
Bubble magus curve 5 skimmer
Hygger heaters
Lighting: 2x hydra 52 & 1x hydra 26 non HD fitted with some sweet diffuser kits from a member in the 3D printing forums.
Will be hung from a custom built copper mount with wires hidden inside.
Flow: 2x ecotech mp10wQD
Dosing: 3x brs 1.1ml/min peristaltic pumps feeding 2 part + mag
Aquascape: Marco dry rock cemented together in 2 structures (plan to seed with current 10 year old liverock) after cycle complete. Ive got lots of critters and sponges to share with the new rock.
Thats it so far.....
