Vaiodude inspired me to stop being lazy and make a build thread to keep track of my build progress. Please excuse any misspelling and potato quality pictures because I will be doing it all with my phone (in the process of moving in and construction so computer is not set up).
Quick shout out to Paul aka Mbc2012 for selling this beautiful 75 Gallon Deep Blue Rimless Tank for a price I could not resist. Shout out to Kenroyn aka @T5PO and Alex aka avasquez01 for helping me out with tons of valuable information for the build.
I decided to go with with this DT because it fits perfectly with my family / dining room and it also has access to the basement for a huge sump and refugium.
Current Equipment:
Tank:
75 Gallon Deep Blue Rimless
Modified Deep Blue Stand
Lights:
Photon16 x2
Skimmer:
Bubble Magnus Curve 7
Sump:
130 Gallon Breeder 72Lx24Wx17H
Refugium:
90 Gallon Custom Acrylic 36Lx19Wx30H
Powerhead:
Jabao wp40
Future Equipment / Wishlist:
(If anyone has anything listed for sale or trade please PM me!)
Maxspect Gyre 50w (overkill I know but runs perfect at 20% for this size tank, as seen in some videos. Need to see this in person to judge)
More to be added can't think at this late hour!
Current Progress:
11/8/2014
DT is currently filled with 6 gallons of vinegar added and algae are coming off like butter! No elbow grease needed!
Plumbing is complete. Have one drain going to main sump with skimmer and return pump. Other drain will be going to a drilled 90 gallon for refugium with 4 inch sandbed. I decided not to do any baffles. Chamber #1 will have drain and skimmer followed by about 300 lbs of liverock. Return will be at the end of 6 foot sump. Refugium will drain into return chamber, essentially making the return pump in the middle. Refugium will house various macro algae and frags.
