Well after about 8 months I have got my new 120g in-wall up and running. I still have to build the cabinetry around the tank, but there is no rush on that as I want to do it right.
Anyhow the tank/systems are as follows:
- 120 AGA RR w/ 2 megaflows, 2 1.5" drains for CLS and 4 1.5" returns
- CLS Pump is Sequence 5800 via OM 4-way
- One megaflow drains to 70g Rubbermaid stock tank fuge in basement
- Other megaflow drains to 100g Rubbermaid sump in basement
- Fuge gravity drains into sump
- Return pump is Sequence 3200 to two 3/4" Locline nozzles
- Skimmer is dual-Beckett MR3 driven by Blueline HD70
- MRC CR3 Dual chamber spray bar Calcium Reactor (still finishing off the setup on that)
- 2 250W 10,000 MH
- 1 150 W 20,000 MH
- 2 110W VHO URI Actinic White
- 2 110W VHO URI Super Actinic Blue
- Actinics driven by Icecap 660 Ballast
- 1 250W 14,000K MH in LAIII over the fuge
- Neptune Aquacontroller III
Total turnover I figure is somewhere around 40-50x/hour. Anyhow, the wife is very happy to have the tank finished, as she can now start collecting SPS frags.
Enough talk, here is the first SPS we bought:
Run of the mill Acropora?
Here is a photo of tank from today, still waiting on the 120# of base from reeferrocks.com to seed up:
Here is a photo of the basement setup:
There is a vertical standpipe inside the fuge so that if power goes out, it won't completely empty and overflow the sump.
Comments and critiques welcome, and thanks for looking,
Mike
