Pauls new 300 gallon

[Paulairduck]

I finally was able to get the 300, I have always wanted. It was crazy how heavy this thing was, but it made it home and in one piece

The dimensions are:

96L X 30W X 24 H

Some equipment I already have:

BK 250 Internal
90 gallon sump
Geo Calcium Reactor 818
4 Tunze 6100's and 4 Nano modded 6025's for the flow

I am thinking a Red Dragon pump for the return

If anybody has suggestions for the lighting tell me.

I am thinking 3 400 watt galaxy ballast, 3 Large Lumenbright Stealth Refelectors and either coralvue reeflux 12 or the new aquamaxx bulbs 14K

First,



Nice looking Tank, should be fun to aquascape, i would do something like Sunnyx or Reefbum but with 3 islands instead of 2.

Subscribed.


Do you want a ready made fixture or DIY in a canopy?


either way id go for 400W SE bulbs on M-80 ballasts like the bluewave and at least 3 banks of t5 on either side.

Can't wait to see this come together. Might wanna get something around 2000g when the kids get a little bigger. xD

Damn Paul that's huge!! You're going to need a lot more corals for that tank!! Did Spikey carry his weight when you picked-up the tank.... LOL

 

[~sp0ok~]

wow

 

[Paulairduck]

If I ever get the chance to get a 2000, It will be after I win the Lotto.

I am going to get all the wood on Monday and start building the stand.

The more I look @ this tank the more I like the options I have.

My fish are going to be very happy


Spikey is already giving me lots of feedback on how he want's my tank to look

Nice looking tank. What brand is it? I am going to follow this one. I pick up my new 300 tomorrow, 96x30x25 starphire front with two back overflow's.

AWSOME size Paul, and great dims.
If I could offer up my 2 cents.... Im currently running 400w bulbs on my tank thats 30" tall and I think its unnecessary. I wish I had gone with 250w.
Anyhow, if you need any help with anything like moving the tank im game.

Thanks, me and my brother had to haul this thing through a door all alone, no room for our helpers, you want to talk about stress, especially when my hands started sweating:eek2: :eek1:
