Ta da!
Lol, this is what I have been looking at for the past couple of months. But for real, the tank is being delivered next Friday.
It is an Innovative Marine 240 INT with a white stand. 83 x 30 x 22 I opted for their complete system which comes with sump and plumbing. This plug and play is what sold me. I have a slight regret on choosing the INT over the EXT, but space is limited.
Tank will be a mixed reef, with more focus on fish and critters. If I end up with just zoas and shrooms I'd be happy but I am planning on some LPS and hopefully a Monti.
Lighting may be a little unconventional. 3x 66" AI Blades suspended from the ceiling on 2020 aluminum.
Sump: IM's rfs 50 with their MIghtyJet xl return pump
Skimmer: RO Regal 200 INT
I managed to snag 2x MP60s for about the price of one. One is brand new in its box. One was used for about a month.
Heating: 1300w total. 700w (2x350) is IM's Helio PTC heater/controller and 600w BRS titanium on an inkbird. However I am considering returning the inkbird and using an aqualogic/ranco instead.
The room is cold in the winter 60-65. I am replacing the double pane glass in the windows who's seals have failed and I may try that shrink wrap temporary insulation from the box store. Vents are in the ceiling. Floor is slab.
I have 120lbs of caribsea dry special grade. I will be getting some TBS rock and maybe some sand.
For water making, storage and mixing I have a 6 stage from BRS and 2 55 gallon drums from uline on heavy duty steel dollies. Went with the heavy duty (2000lb) vs regular (1000lb) dolly for the extra wheel. 5 vs 4. I do not want these things tipping over. You could kill a man with one of those casters or at least break a toe if you dropped it.
I think thats about it for now. I did change out the old and gross sink in the half bath around the corner.
Haven't had a tank since 2007. Exciting!
