For the past couple months or so I've been planning a 37g seahorse/reef tank. I had two tanks going, a 12g nanocube and a 10g dwarf seahorse tank, but keeping them going along with a couple freshwater tanks just was too much. I'm setting up the 37 to be my only salt tank (I'll keep the nanocube until this tank is cycled, then I'll transfer the livestock and sell it) so hopefully I'll end up with less work than before (that is, after I set up it lol). I've already broken down the horse tank and I'm relocating the sh I have, the 37 will hopefully hold a pair of h. erectus, h. reidi, h. kuda, or h. comes (which will take less time to care for then the dwarves)
So far I don't have much of a plan, I've already got the tank, a PC light fixture, some egg crate for the rock structures, and I'm waiting on a coralife super skimmer. Here's what I have so far:
-37g with a sump/fuge (either 20, 20T, or 29)
-2 rock structures resembling http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1188352&perpage=25&pagenumber=1
-SSB
-livestock-> pair of seahorses, a couple SH safe fish, zoanthids, gorgonians, mushrooms
-18g sterilite bin NSW holding tank, pvc frame around it to prevent bowing
I haven't started thinking about plumbing yet, since the countertop this is going to sit on has not yet been built. I have been thinking about what kinda overflow I'll be using. This tank will be in my room so I need to use the quietest overflow I can make. Originally I was going to go with a corner OF made from 1/4 of an 8" diameter pvc pipe, but I think that might be too noisy. What should I use?
As you can see I've got some cleaning to do, I've been scraping off the old black paint so I can repaint it.
