How did you make your back wall panels?

using timber panel wrap with baking paper, then brush the cement layer by layer till got good thickness.
for the rough form, i just throw cement ball..

this is the floor panel i make it thinner, i can hold up to 79kg, i test it by step on them.

Im going to use 3x400w 14Kblv & 4x80 t5 Ati.

should i go for 4x400w or stay with 3x400w, consider this going to be sps tank.

for 72"x36" with your reflectors, 3 would be good enough IMO

thx for advice. also i need advice for wave, im planning to add tunze for water movement, which one better 2x6100 or 1 wavebox?

Are you using the drain for water changes? Salt water isn't good for plants. Its ok for very occasional mishaps but repeated influx of saltwater will kill your plants. I would go with the Tunze's on a controller or Vortechs with the new wave controller. You will get better movement and random currents then with the wavebox which will promote healthier livestock.

in that case the drain just for RO waste. unfortunately in here we no one bring down vortech, only can get from singapore.
