Both of you have nice rock work. What pumps will you be using? You just want to make sure that you have a pump aimed behind the rock so you do not have any dead spots...flow is really important in these tanks..
I was up all night programing my vortechs and radions..and now I am at school doing the same thing instead of lesson planning...now I know why I did not want to get an Apex...too much fun.

sorry I disappeared last night. Catching up on DVR...

Thank you sir!!
Well..there goes my graph.. is they don't have a set graph
No preset graphs. Not that big a deal. You know what you use now, just recreate it in Fusion...

yea..that'll work. I'm sure there are many more of us out there, just seems to be slow here..

I've decided, before I go any further with the tank, to DIY build a stand to replace what it's on now. I'll be building it this weekend I'll post pics. I'll be using the plans in the DIY forum here.
Nice..that will give you some decent flow around the rocks.. Smart idea on the build, having a little higher stand and one with cabinets will give it a clean look
I love the fact that I can set up the pumps to run at different settings and mix it up during the day..
What I do not like is the lighting graph..I was running at 16k and 15.5 and they do not have a present for that. If I adjust I do not know if I am at 15.5 or even 14.. I may be missing something here. Let me know

For each time point there is a color selection, I know they have all the major temps covered. Maybe not your two temps. But if you use the closest setting, then adjust the sliders, you should get close. It will say custom once you change it. See attached..
You have a G3 so you may have other color sliders too...

Welcome! I got a 150 watt aqueon pro heater at petco on sale for $40
I'm also still deciding on a skimmer, but leaning towards the cad 50 or the aquamax HOB

It's all about budget and future use...
Skimmer if I was to do it again, tunze or cad lights. ghost is ok.
ATO, tunze nano. Or if you plan on bigger someday, the full unit
Power heads, depends on your budget. A couple of us have dual mp10s.some use jebao. The jebao is Big Bang for little $. The mps have amazing flexibility. Again ,if you plan on bigger someday give it thought.
Heater, any trusted brand 150w or 175s should do it as long as it has a good controller.
Consider upgrading the stock circ pump too. For I think 90 bucks you can add a lot more circ.
Welcome and good luck with your tank!
Oh yea, ask us and we will help you spend your $$$$!

Welcome... This not my first tank, so I went with the higher end products just because I want to not purchase again. Rather have my wife faint after one month credit card bill
I am running the following:
Skimmer: Ghost, if I did it again, I would run the aquamaxx hob-1
Heater: Colbalt Aquatics Neo-Therm (150w)..I have it fully submerged
ATO:Tunze 3155
Power Head: (2) Ecotech MP10s..you can get these used or over at tb aquatics for $199.99
Lights: I run radions G3 and love them.
Let us know what else you need help with..if we don't know, we will make up the answer

Famous last words! That's a fairly aggressive lighting schedule! My gen 1 has a lot less power and I dont run that high...but I'm a wuss too...I'm also waiting on ecotech to get the gen3 pro kits in to have mine upgraded...
Just did my wc. Everyone is happy....that gives me time to set the doser up Saturday...
Thinking now of setting both mps on one side too. Getting the dreaded sand divots...
