Well, I took almost a decade long hiatus from reefkeeping, and have finally decided to plunge back in. I will be setting up an sps dominant tank over the next few months. Found a descent setup for a pretty good price on the ole CL. Going through everything I picked up this week, seeing what works and what doesn't work, and making a list of what I need to be up and running. So far this is what came with the tank I have purchased:
-90 gal AGA with built in overflow
-A good old Euroreef RS80 skimmer (Will upgrade eventually, but this will get me started)
-2 x 250w MH's with the old magnetic hamilton ballast (will be running Radium's in these, because even after almost a decade, is there anything that comes close?)
-4 x 55w PCs (will probably swap these out for T5's)
-Supreme Mag18 return (undecided wether I'll use it or not)
-plenty of Koralia EVO pumps for in tank circ
-Berlin Sump (12x24x16) (will most likely swap this out for a 40g breeder.
I started on it today. Cleaned the corner seams and re-siliconed them with GE type I, as they were in pretty rough shape. Otherwise, the tank is in great shape.
Then we moved the tank inside, and stuck it on the stand. Now begins the planning phase. I'll keep this thread updated as much as possible.
