The wife and I decided to get back into the hobby after being out of it for the past 5 years or so. New to reef central as a posting member, but certainly not new to the hobby. As we are doing our research into equipment it is amazing at how much has changed, especially when you have stepped away completely and come back after a length of time. In any event, here is what we are looking into. I would appreciate any comments, advice, things we might have missed, overlooked, etc.
So here is the equipment build list:
-120G (48x24x25) Visio Euro Braced Tank, Black Back, Off-center trapezoid overflow box
-36" Espresso Oak Stand
-Sump (approx. 32x16x16)
-Vertex Omega 150 Protein Skimmer
-NextReef SMR1 XL Solid Media Reactor
-Lifegard Quiet One 2200 Pump (for reactor/chiller)
-Ecotech Marine Radion XR30W Pro x 2
-Ecotech Marine Vortech MP40w ES x 2
-Waveline DC6000 Pump
-JBJ True Temp 500W Digital Heater System
-JBJ 1/4 HP Arctica Aquarium Chiller
Thoughts, comments, advice, etc.?
On a side note - what is the maximum tank size (in approx lbs) someone has on a wood subfloor out there. We would like this tank to go on our main level (home is split level), but weight might prevent that (at least as the building code goes per CA). That would necessitate it to the concrete slab downstairs.
Thanks in advance for reading and any advice, insight, recommendations etc. you can offer.
