DSA NEO 105 Build

[Tweaked]

I have been starring at this tank since all pets got it in a year ago. At first, I hated the back wall,but it grew on me and and love rimless tanks as I have a couple already.

The plan is transfer most of my sps and start over with a more minimal setup and large water column. I am also still debating a bare bottom as my wife's frag tank is very easy to maintain being bare, and just love it.

Equipment.
DSA NEO 105 Pro. Dual over flow/dual return (48.5x24.5x21)
Hamilton Cebu Sun. 2 250w 20k MH, 4 T5's, LED strips, etc.
55 gallon three chamber sump with fuge
Reef Octopus XS160 Diablo Skimmer
BRS Reactor. GFO/Carbon
Tunze ATO
Avast Kalk Stirrer via doseing pump
2 MP40's
Dual 150w heaters
Apex

Yep, that's why I posted on your thread when you had those specific dimensions. It's a good size, but not crazy.

Quick update. A Sherman tank disguised as a light arrived today- the Hamilton Cebu Sun. Crazy heavy and built like a tank. Gonna have to strengthen the hanging mount as there is no way I would run it on the tank having rimless. Also, after looking at the frag wall, it looked there might be small holes in it which could trap detritus behind it so I ripped that out.

I want pics!!!! LOL This way i can see it before i do it.

Lol. Still have to remove some silicon and paint the back. I am probably gonna run sand now, but not decided. In the process of planning the plumbing utilizing my through wall 55 gallon sump which I am guessing should be about 120g total water volume on the system.

Crazy busy at work right now so not much time. I hate doing budgets lol. Anywho back is off and most silicon removed that they used to glue in back wall. Left lower silicon and guess its a sand bottom now. Oh well.

Wife painting back wall black here.

Chugging right along. Old tank moved 6 feet to the side and running at half a tank keepin my sps going. Got all the plumbing through the wall done, and everything back and wired to the apex controllers. At the mercy of the rodi unit now.

[Tweaked]

Nice build. I recently put together a reef system with a DSA 135. Loved it, but too loud in the overflow and sump. Plumbed it with a Herbie setup, nearly silent now. Don't know why they sent a dual Durso, when the tank is really perfect for the Herbie. Systems almost silent now, and adjustable... Just a heads up in case you're in the same boat.
