Equipment List

Tank: Advanced Acrylics custom 48" x 30" x 17" AIO.
3/4" on all sides and top bracing, 1/2" bottom panel.
Sump section is 48" long x 8" wide allowing for use of full sized equipment. 4 sections.

Return Pump: Sicce SDC 3.0
The current Reef Octopus VarioS-2 will become the back up.

Heating: BRS Titanium 300w heating element controlled by the Apex. May add the BRS Heater Controller for redundancy, I have one on hand being used elsewhere that could be drafted into service. Also have a BRS Titanium 200w heating element currently in use on my current tank that will become the back up.

Wavemakers:
Main - Maxspect Jump 4K Gyre
Secondary - Maxspect Jump 2K Gyre
Extras: AI Nero 3 x2 to be used if needed.

UV Sterilizer: Going with a 24w Green Killing Machine based on a friend who is using one on a similar sized tank, this may need to be upgraded.

ATO: Tunze 3155

ATO Container: Innovative Marine Aqua Gadget 5 Gallon Reservoir

Controller: Neptune Apex 2016 with 2 EB832 Energy Bars

Controller Board: DIY PVC Foamboard attached to the stand with leftover gussets from the stand build and some hardware from Home Depot.

Still tbd: Fuge light? Supplemental lighting, possibly a Quanta Bar for some blue pop in the evening? Battery back up (or possibly a whole home generator)
