Backstory first i guess. Ive had a 40breeder set up for almost 2 years though it recently got rebooted as part of trying to solve high nitrates.
Ive always wanted a 75gal. Its the perfect size for me at this point in my life and things have happened for me to finally get what i want.
Never made a thread for the 40breeder cause i was never proud of it. The 75 on the other hand.....
Ive been getting the equipment over the past few months and its includes
So while the tank is not at my house yet the canopy is. I will be doing a DIY solution within the canopy. Starting out will be an 8 bulb setup driven by the ati HEP ballasts. Not totally sure on bulb selection yet but ill get there. That project is started. See pic. Later i will probably be adding an orphek bar into the mix.
The tank will be getting drilled by myself and an eshopps eclipse medium overflow installed. Its the overflow that is installed on my 40breeder at the moment and i love it.
Currently sump is a 29gal. I may keep it or i may move the 40breeder down and make it a sump.
Not much else to say at this moment. Super excited to get it up and going. Im shooting for this weekend by sunday evening. I started this as well to have the assistance of you good people as i do this.
