I currently have a 180g tank. I've almost run out of floor space for corals and room for fishies, so I was looking at doubling my tank size to a 360.
It would be 6ftx4ftx2ft. This is getting very close as to not being able to fit in the door.
I'm going to place the new tank in place of my 180 (6x2x2) and keep the 2 razors LEDs I have currently, then add 2 more. I think this should give me enough light. I may add a pendant in the center to handle any fall off in the middle.
For a skimmer I was looking at the Reef Octopus Diablo 250-INT DC skimmer. I have the SRO-3000 skimmer currently and am very happy with it.
For a return pump, I was looking at the Diablo DC 10500 pump. I did some very gross calculations using the tool on the site, and I came up with 9.25 ft of head pressure. This mapped against the flow profile of the pump gives me at least 7x turnover between tank and sump.
I plan on keeping a mixed reef system with various fishes. I will probably transfer over the fish I have now to the 360.
I also plan on getting my floor worked on. The aquarium will be on the main floor of the house, so I'll need to reinforce it from the basement.
I also plan on getting a Calcium reactor of some kind to keep up with ca/alk demands.
Anyone have any thoughts?
