Right then i wasnt sure where this should go (mods please move if you need to)
1st time im doing a tank build so thought i would share it on here and hope to get some help
After having a full reef then a fish only im going to do something new!!
and that is a clown and nem tank !!
Ive been researching this since December now
Nothing is finalized as of yet and may change with your input as people chip in
The idea is to have around 10 to 15 BTA and the same amount of clowns all will be purchased from local breeders of around 2/3 months old possible davinci platinum Picasso mix.
Display will be 1045mm x 572mm x 678mm in 12mm so will be brace less i will be building this my self from salvaged glass from a 300gal system
The volume of this will be 372ltrs..
Undecided on the sump size yet but its looking like
Equipment
Skimmer is a ATI Powercone 200 SI really good skimmer rated this over the deltecs any day
Lights im looking at the evergrow IT2080 which is 800mm long, i think ill got with 120 optics and the lights will be just above the water line
Ive been wanting to try a Santa Monica 100 Acrylic Scrubber for some time now so i have got a DIY Santa Monica 100 Acrylic Scrubber version just need to source some lights for this now. this will take care of PO3 and nitrates without a problem i believe
Heating is a 300w heater but will add a controller to fine tune the heat for the nems.
Return pump is a jeabo 6000 which i already have great pumps i will either T this off to the scrubber
Movement i currently have a WP-60 on my fish only which i will sell and replace with smaller units
Here some images i have been working on
Things im unsure on
sump layout ?
Return line size ? Thinking 25mm
Power head size WP 10/25 or 40 i was think 2 x 25s ?? rated at 8000ltrs each ?
Twin stand pipe size thinking 32mm... the bulk heads i have require a 45mm hole im unsure how close these can be from the edge and each other ??
