Veteran Reefer's MONSTER WB BUILD!

[Veteran Reefer]

This build is starting from the ground up including prep, purchase, and installation of either the Waterbox Reef LX 320 or the Reef LX 270.

First step that has been taken was RODI system and utility sink. Booster is arriving tomorrow with some clips to hold the lines in place. Next step is building the mixing station. Wife and I are building a list of what we want as far as lights, skimmer, return pump, powerheads, dosing pumps, ato, etc. Open to any/All suggestions! This is a blank canvas so let me know what y'all think will be best and appropriate.

Also what can I do to cover the electrical outlet, while still using it since it's the only plug in there for my washer, in case of any sort of malfunction. There is nowhere else to move the unit so that is not an option.

Which tank did you decide on? I know the LX series has been delayed. The REEF LX 320.7 looks mighty tempting.

 

[Veteran Reefer]

I thi k we are pretty set on the lx270

Any updates?

 

[Veteran Reefer]

Floor is done!

 

[Veteran Reefer]

Return pumps are in.

 

[Veteran Reefer]

Sorry for not posting pictures but it keeps saying the file size is too big....

 

[Veteran Reefer]

So, the lights, powerheads, mounts, sand, control board, and many other things are ordered and on the way!

 

[Veteran Reefer]

Will probably be ordering the tank today!

Which one did you decide on?

OK so the green line is the reef 220.6. The inner blue line is the LX230. The outer blue line is the reef LX 270. The blue in the middle is the center of the wall. @Reefing Mama

The pumps for tank and mixing station.

Which one did you decide on?

We decided the 220.6 is the best fit so my 5ft 0in butt can take care of it myself if need be. Want the LX but due to him probably needing surgery, the bigger tank is not doable right now. 220 is still huge and I can still get my naso
