Well I got the new tank and will start with new sand/ a cup or so of existing stuff. My son and I built a quick 2x4 stand this weekend and skinned it in some gloss black 1/4" plywood. The front of the cabinet will be solid but removable with a faux door on it so that I can get to the plumbing as it goes through the floor if needed, and to setup a power switch station as well. I am reusing all of my power equipment so hopefully will have a VERY small cycle if one at all. I believe that my tub sits at about 50g of water and I will move a good bit of the water in the tank as I will use it to hold all livestock. Any corals that can be removed from their current location may be moved unless their is others on the same rock that cant be moved to allow for more freedom in aquascape. I believe that Iam going to do a larger C shaped area stacked up a little and a single rock tower in the middle with a ring of my blastos or acans.
With the extra volume I may also purchase a Jebo 25 to assist my MP10.
I also plan on setting up a 20g fuge out of the old sump that ran the system prior to the trough, since I also acquired a tub Fuji mud for 7 dollars.
Equipment list:
Marineland 45g Cube
2 Aqueno 200w pros
Ecotech MP10
Glass-Holes overflow or flows (pending purchase from clemquat)
2x4 Stand
Mag18 Return
100g Rubbermaid Sump
Aqua C120 skimmer using a Quietone 2200 pump
Reef breeders Value Fixture
Approx. 150 lbs -200 lbs of live rock.
