Hi Everybody



First of all, Thanks to everyone on this board for providing great information and knowledge. Thank You And now to the build.

Plan:

 

[happysak]

Tank: Marinland 18x18x18 cube with slim overflow

Marinland slim overflow box design is not a best design, but some cutting, drilling and gluing improved it some.

Tagging along.
What are your plans livestock wise and feeding wise?

Tagging along.

Great More fun this way.

What are your plans livestock wise and feeding wise?

The tank will be tubastrea sp., dendrophilia sp. dominated. I wanted tank to look something like this

 

[velvetelvis]

Ahhh...very Amano-esque.

Are you going to keep any fish/motile inverts?

Thinking about it. May be dwarf eel, may be some cardinals or anthias. I would like to try feather star later on.

Filtration:

Sump will have three chambers: refugium, skimmer and reactors return pump chamber.

Skimmer: I will be using Vertex in-100 skimmer with Tunze pump (stock one wasn't the best pump)

But one day I was looking at friend's tank and he had tubastrea and it was so autumn Direction of aquarium was change from sps to nps, but name stayed.

No flash, just tank lights. Though I wish to have remote flash.

Nice photography and video! It seems that so many reefers are also amazing photographers. Look forward to the rest of the build.
