Hello all. I'm Ben. I'm relatively new here, although I've been reading RC posts for years. After a 2 year absence from the hobby, I finally was able to wear down my wife and I'm back baby! My prior tank was a 100g. mixed reef which I really enjoyed and hope to duplicate on a lrger scale. Should have saved the tank as my sump is now a 100g. I have really learned a lot here on RC and thank everyone who takes the time to post details of their set ups.
Having said that, I must warn that my system equipment list will fall far short of many I have seen here, although it's a big step up from what I ran my prior system on.
Anyway, here the basics...
240g. Visio "Advanced Aqua Tanks" glass. 3 X 10" top braces that leaves me 4 equal size openings on top. 4 X 1.5" drains equally spaced along the water level on the back pane.
Custom built stand & canopy that will be here next week. stand is 38", canopy is 15".
100g. glass sump (Visio again) drilled for 2" bulkhead for Dart return pump and a 1" bulkhead for water changes.
PC-3000 NW skimmer.
Several other minor bells & whistles that I will update as I progress. here's some pics!
