Ive bern talking to miracles and the guy from aquatics elite just started building tanks a few months ago. they are ready to start advertising this and given the cost of the led i am getting thru them they are offering me a really great deal. Plus they will ship the tank and light in the same crate saving me more money on shipping fees.
Tank has been ordered......
Tank was ordered yesterday with the following specs...
* 72x36x28
* 3/4" glass all around
* Eurobrace made from 1 piece of glass...no seams. No idea how they accomplish this but the pictures look awesome
* Single external overflow with 3 drains
* 3 side starphire
* Black bottom and back
Stand.....
The stand will be 2" steel and built by a local guy.
Light....
Here's a link to one of their LED fixtures with RGB in action....
Thanks Richard. I have been happy with the SRO but I really want a skimmer that will allow me to over skim and with reef octopus it seems like they go from skimmers that are rated to around 550 gallons and then jump to 1400 gallons. They seem to have a gap in their line.
I am open to either internal or external since everything will be in a fish room and I have planty of space. I would like to double the system volume in rating.
I am finding that difficult to do with SRO's. I was all set for the xp5000 but I want something bigger. I looked at the SRO6000 ext but that doesn't really give me much more. The ATB 1260 would be good but I don't think it will fit. The BK Supermarine 250 will fit and that gets me up to 800 gallons but BK's make me nervous with service and replacement parts. Its great that they guarantee the parts will be available for 10 years but at what price????? I emailed victor at ATB for a confirmation on the foot print for the 1260.
Hey Mike,
I remeasured my skimmer area last night and its a little bigger than I thought...its a little over 19" x 17". You are running the sm250 right?

Good looking plan so far!
It is hard to tell from your picture, how big is that sump? Are you planning to have the sump and all your equipment under the stand? Remote sump?

Thank you! The sump is 48x20x20 and made by MRC. All of the equipment will be to the left side of the tank against the wall. Nothing will be under the stand.
SKIMMER....
I changed my mind on the skimmer and got a great deal on an ATB 10.5 deluxe internal skimmer. I was really impressed with Victor's customer service and quick responses to all of my questions...even on a sunday!
Pre-Black Friday purchases....
As soon as the Black Friday codes started coming out yesterday I started emptying my baskets....
Substrate....Tropic Eden Reef Flakes
Salt...2 x 200 gallon boxes of Reef Crystals
RODI upgrade kit to 150 gpd....no way am I waiting 4 days for my tank to fill up once I am ready :spin2:
New RODI filiters
Just waiting on Marco Rocks to announce their sale and will purchase more base rock then.
Basically the only thing I have left to buy are fittings, pipes and valves. Once I figure out what and how much I need I will be ordering the valves from Savko and the rest will come from HD or Lowes.
DUMPSTER UPDATE...
Just got the call that they are on their way to deliver it!
