I decided to get a 120 (48" X 24" X 24") to replace my current 90 gallon (40" X 24" X 21"). I decided to get an acrylic 120 with external overflow box. I have built the stand, sump, refugium, and after months of assembling all the parts I need, I finally have it together. It is not running yet, but has been plumbed and leak tested in my workshop. I hope this will make the transition an easy task since I will already have most of the work done when it comes time to swap the tanks out.
Here is the stand in progress. I made the stand longer than the tank on one end to provide more space for things like my chiller, calcium reactor, etc. The left end is removable.
The sump is very simple...it has a bubble trap chamber, and will have a mesh bag inside the chamber to catch large debris and keep it from collecting in the bottom of the sump. It will house an ASM G4+ skimmer.
Here is the tank, stand, and light. The lighting will be 2 X 250 watt MH with 2 X 95 watt VHO actinics housed in a 36" long PFO light hood.
The tank has slots drilled in the center of the back wall for the overflow.
I drilled the tank for a closed loop. 1.5" intake plumbed to a Sequence 3600 GPH pump.
