DSA NEO 190 Upgrade

[footyreefer]

Hello everyone. I am in the planning stages of upgrading my 125 Mixed reef to a 190 Dsa Neo. 60"×27"×27".

Equipment

Lights- currently have 3 Arctic T247 but I am thinking about going to a 48" Ati Sunpower. What are your thoughts?

Skimmer- RO Diablo XS200

Flow- 4 Ecotech Mp40w

Reactors- Jns Biopellet Reactor and Brs Dual Reactor

Return- 1 or 2 Dc12000 to supply reactors and Returns

Heater- 2 300 watt Finnex Titanium

Controller- Apex Lite

Doser- Jebao Doser

Sump- Custom 75 gal sump with big refugium. I would like to use Ecosystems Mud for better fish and coral coloration.

Fuge Light- CC par 38 Fuge light

AutoAqua smart Ato



Goals for Tank: I would like to be primarily SPS, with many Acans and zoanthids. Around 20 fish ( about 2 or 3 tangs ).

Water changes- 25 gal every 2 weeks.

Thanks for reading. Let me know what input and suggestions you have!

Going to utilize a calcium reactor instead of the jebao doser. Hoping it will keep water stable and coral growth constant!

You are going to love that tank. I have the same one. Mine is full SPS and I have over 20 fish. 3 tangs, some angels, etc"¦ I also use 4 mp40s and have a 10 bulb ati unit. This light can grow sps on the sand bed. We have many similarities in our setups. You can check my tank in the SPS section of this forum if you want. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2484807&page=7

I will look at your build later tonight! I plan to do lots of sps since I'm going to be using a calcium reactor now. Was toying around with the idea of an ATI fixture.

Which calcium reactor do you want to use?

So as far as fish. Here's a rough draft of fish I want/ already have.

2 Picasso Clowns- already have
1 Midas blenny- already have
1 potter's wrasse- already have
1 Yellow Coris Wrasse- already have
1 read head Solon Fairy Wrasse- have
1 blue star Leopard wrasse- have
1 female Leopard Wrasse- want
Pair of flame wrasse- want
1 Yellow Tang- want
1 purple tang- want
1 Kole Tang- have
3-5 longspine cardinals- have 3
3-5 Disbar Anthias- have 2
3 chromis- have 1
1 potter's angel- want

Let me know what you guys think. This may seem like a lot but most are small and I keep my water very clean.. almost too clean.

Here's a pic of my 125

Should I go for a 40 breeder sump and have plenty of room for other equipment or top off or do a 75 gal sump? I might have a frag tank so I could put top off underneath that.

Thanks. I'm currently battling some byropsis and am dosing some Kent M to help get rid of it.

Going to use my DB 30 gal for a frag tank! I will use a kessil to light it.
