Double post

Got my mp60 es today! This will be only powerhead in tank! Cant wait to get this thing up and running

 

[93dxeg]

Got the sump all finished, does it matter if the baffles are water tight? If its not water tight will both chambers evaporate?

Got my manifold built for my reactors.

One will hold gfo the other bio pellets.

Ups dropped me off an early x mas gift last night!

Going to run a 8x80w sunpower from reefgeek.com. I used to run mh/t5 combo on my old tank but cost of electricity, bulb replacement, heat, and i didnt want to have a canopy made my decision to run t5. Plus i have seen alot of t5 bulb combos the make corals pop so hard!

My bulb choice was 4x kz superblue 2x kz fiji purple 2x kz new generation.

What do you plan on keeping in the tank livestock wise? Good luck with the rest of the build!
