New Build - 400G of Reef

[agruetz]

Finally took the plunge and ordered my 72in x 36in x 30in Reef Savvy tank. It will have a phantom bottom, dual hybrid overflows, Star fire glass on 3 sides and blacked out back. Whole thing will be built out of 3/4in glass.

It will be lit by 4 x AI Hydra's.
Flow will be provides by 4 x MP40w's
It will have a full Apex controller system.

Still undecided on the return pumps, skimmer, sump/fuge.

I have attached a basic drawing, it is going to take a good 5 - 6 months before the tank is ready so I guess I have some time to figure out those minor details.

Cool, what are you going to put in it?

No idea yet. The only things I can guarantee are whats in the current tank. Which are 2 black and white clowns and a powder brown tang (Yea i know rescue fish, knowing I was getting the big tank ) He is a baby right now and doing very well.

At some point I want another Mandarin or Scooter, I had trained one to eat prepared foods and it lived for about 1 3/4th years but it just eventually stopped eating the prepared foods. Figure the 400G should be plenty of pod hunting for a pair of them.

As for corals, wide mix of softie - sps.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a skimmer for a 400G tank?
