Hi All,
Currently in the planning stages of my ~240 gal Reef Display which will be largely dedicated to SPS and a medium fishload. I will have a large ~100 gal sump, ~45 gal fuge, ~35-40 gal frag tank, 65 gal water change/holding tank and ~45 gal mangrove fuge. So, around 500 gal total volume.
The tank with either come from AGE or Miracles. My plan is to have an external overflow on one end of the tank. I really want to avoid using a closed loop, because I don't want holes in the bottom of the tank and I don't want to deal with the issues of sand clogging the OM devices. So, my plan is to run two waveboxes adjacent to the overflow similar to Jar * head. In addition, I want to put two Vortechs on the opposite end, a Stream (either a 6101 or 6201) hidden in a stream rock and a Wavysea on the main return at the middle top of the back of the tank. I plan to use a Red Sea 8.2 m3 for the return pump, but roughly half of this waterflow will be rerouted to the fuges, frag tank and water change tank. Please take a look at the attached file and let me know if you have feel I have a good setup or offer any suggestions for improvement. I want to keep all detrius suspended in the water column and much as possible and I plan to have an open aquascape similar to what I've sketched on the attached file. Thanks!
Andy
