LMK if my build does not qualify for this fourm. I know it's 180 or bigger but my total water volume is more than 180.
So after many builds and breakdowns, I'm going to really put time and patience into this one. After breaking down my 280 due to money issues and i was'nt really ready for such a big tank. I would've love to still have that one and set it back up, but it's gone. So my lawyer FINALLY (after six years) came through, and besides taking the family to Disney this year I got the o.k. from the wife to do this build. As long as i agree to it being the last one for a long time (she's fed up with the builds too). From a 75 to 170 to 280 to present 30 qube in just 2 years. Have to agree with the wife on this one.
Now to the build. I got a good deal on a 4ft glass 110 with the stand, t5 light and quite one pump. It will be in the basement. On the other side of the wall behind the tank will be all the equipment. I always loved the sump rooms and getting me hands in there with the equipment. The exciting part i'm looking foward to is the fuge tank that will be under the DT. I am going to make it a peacock mantis shrimp home.
Now on to the equipment. All the tanks that I will be using is from my old builds.
110 DT new to me, but from another member
30 fuge/mantis home
75 sump
65 RO for top off
65 salt mixing tank
30 frag/qt/water change
New items:
110 lbs brs pukani rock (just got it yesterday)
2 mp40 es
marineland led for the fuge/mantis tank
skimmer (either reef octopus or swc)
2 next reef reactors
mag 5 for mixing salt
I think thats it for now. I'll get more into detail as the build goes on.
