Los' 360 reef CAD plans and setup

Los, I believe it Tunze works well. I apply this in my tank. /3 Tunze 6100- thats oldest model, and a Multicontroller 7095/. Stronger, they work well and quiet. I use it "interval 2" modes of operation. I bought it for Streems a magnetic holders. With this very plain to put up the pumps and very design it.
They have two models, 6080.500 and 6200.500.
The second model /6200.500/ is stronger than the other-/ I apply thats/
So I think, your flow plan is good.

You have no idea. In the last two months, I've been to: Russia, Germany, Turkey, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Kuwait, Dubai, and the US. I have a kid on the way (my wife in the picture is 5 months pregnant!) as well as my 360 reef, so I figured I'd get as much traveling out of the way as I can.

Peter- I'd love to stop by. Thank you!
I installed new bulbs today on my 90. They are 250w DE halides. On one side I put in an AB 10k and on the other a Reeflux 12k. The 10k ABs are supposedly the same as the 13k AB bulbs, but I don't know that for sure. Anyway, both bulbs look great, but the ABs are much whiter and have a tiny bit of yellow to them. It's hardly noticeable, but it's there. With a bit of T5 actinic supplementation, they look really nice. The ABs are also significantly brighter. The Reeflux 12k's have a really nice blue to them and they look fine by themselves without supplemental T5 actinic. They are not nearly as bright though.
BTW, here's a really great comparison site for bulbs:
http://chrismorris.ca/250wcolour/
It's interactive and you can click through a bunch of different brands to see which look you like best. It also lists the watts, par, etc for each bulb.
Between the two, my wife prefers the Reeflux 12k. I'm torn between the two, but I can see why they are so popular. I also bought a half dozen other brands to test out in advance of picking out lighting for the 360.

I tested the Reeflux 10k today. To be honest, I'm not a big fan. It's a tad brighter than the Reeflux 12k, but it gives up a lot of the blue. It's actually closer to green and without the supplemental T5 blue and actinic, it is not very attractive. The Aqualine AB 10k looks a lot nicer by comparison. With supplemental actinic, the Reeflux 10k is passable, but I would not recommend it.

The good folks at Miracles have finished the tank:
I really like the way it looks and working with Derek at Miracles Aquariums has been a pleasure. The euro-brace should be added shortly and it should be ready to ship next week.
Here's the sump:
My wife decided to change where the aquarium goes. She came up with a great suggestion to put it in the wall right in front of the front door with the other side facing our kitchen. I'll post pictures after we put a hole in the wall.

Thanks, everyone. It's going to be here in another 10 days or so. I've been sticking my hands in the 90 way too much trying to keep myself occupied. I NEED something bigger.
Tanya, re: PBITAWA. Don't do it! I'm heading to NYC tomorrow for the weekend. You are lucky to live in the best city in the world. Any good reef stores near 61st and 5th Ave I should check out?
Cheers, Los
