Finally, 2 years later I have finally found the Red Sea 170 for $400 in perfect condition. I spent about 1 month trying to figure out what I was going to do and how to make my aquascape.
Return Pump
Coral box DCA 2000
Pump
IceCap 2k with the controller. (So far don't like it, kinda loud on Sine Wave mode)
Light
No Idea what light I'm going to get. I was thinking a Kessil 360X or a Radion G5 Blue, or maybe even the Res Sea 90...
Skimmer
Also don't have the slightest clue as to which skimmer I'm going to get... Something small. Id likes to make a display refugium. I'm for sure going to fill the bottom of the sump with Marinepure Ceramic Biomedia Plate.\
ATO
For now, I'm going to use what came with the tank. Eventually, I'll use an external bucket with a real ATO with 2 sensors.
I'm going to add 20 pounds of live sand once the tank is finished mixing the salt, then I'm going to add an entire bag of Seachem matrix into a sump that has been sitting in the sump of my 40G AIO Nuvo for 2 years. I'm also going to add a bottle of turbo start. As for livestock not sure when I'm going to do just yet. It's going to be a mixed reef with SPS on the tip-top of course.
*****Feel free to recommend anything!*****
My little helper!
Sprung a leak, freaked out. I didn't tighten the top part of the return enough in the overflow.
Heres a snippet of my Nuvo AIO
