Erik,
Are you planning on putting SPS in that tank? Thanks Dan.

 

[Kreeger1]

I might try a piece or two, it's going to be mainly nonphoto corals. The center of the tank will have a mh though. Not sure sps will deal with all the food I will feed the tank but Im gonna give it a try.
Next step is planning my flow, I think Im going to do a tunze 6300 on a waveysea for the main flow in the tank. Flow needs to be laminar for the Dendro's so that makes it easier....pile a bunch of pumps on one end and blast on through to the other side

stand is done, sanding and painting the room tomorrow night fun fun

The tank will sit on a 3/4 inch piece of foam insulation. The stand is dead on level but It won't hurt to have it anyways. Plus that osb isn't all that smooth.

Will the insulation help for weight distribution, or what?

 

[Kreeger1]

yup, good practice for tanks of any size

Im going to fill the tank with corals like this

 

[Kreeger1]

tank plans,

2 sumps- one 60 gal rubbermade stock tank for frags that will drain into another 60 gal stock tank that will hold the skimmer.

I have a asm g4x skimmer now that I will be modifing with another sendra 5000/9000 pump.

Lighting with be 2 250 double end mh probably going to do ph 14k bulbs. the mh will be on for 4 hours a day.
I will also run 2 6 foot vho's that will be on for 10 hours.

Flow in the tank needs to be laminar flow for the dendros so I'm still trying to figure out what to use
