- Thread starter mrvicz

Tank Dimensions : 38x22x20 LWH
Sump : 25x20x15 LWH
I have to make the tank close to exactly 100gal as much as possible for thea ease of dosing.
Objective : Run a SPS dedicated & Palys tank with selected range of species.
Stand/Cabinet : Cabinet will be reinforced with 2" angle bars fully welded together. Solid beechwood will be used to cover the stand turning it into an open-back cabinet Smile
System : It will be run with a full blown Zeovit setup, complete with the Zeolite reactor, Zeo Bak, Zeo Start2, Zeofood7, Zeo Pohl's Extra, Zeo K-Balance, Zeo Spur 2, Zeo B-Balance, Pohl's Coral Vitalizer, Zeo Amino Acid HC & Zeo Flouride. Calcium & Alkalinity will be introduced in a two-part method using ESV's B-Ionic Calcium Buffer. Magnesium will also be dosed with ESV's B-Ionic Mag additive.
Plumbing : 1 1/2" grey pvc pipes for the drains, 3/4" grey pvc pipes for the return altho im still contemplating if i should use Spa Flex / pool hose. Fittings will be all-grey to match the PVC pipes' color. Bulkheads will also be use for ease and cleanliness of the fittings attached to the display tank.
Dosing : Bubble Magus (BMT-01) will be used to dose the 2-part calcium and magnesium. Profilux SA Dosing Pump will be used to dose some of the more sensitive Zeo components.
Auto Top Off : Attached to the left of the sump is a separate chamber containing only RODI which will be used to top-off water into the sump using the BMT-01 dosing pump.
Lighting : Two KR-92 LED Lights. Hopefully they'll be good enough.
Skimmer : RO XP2000
Carbon : KZ Carbon
Return Pump : Eheim 1264
Overflow: BeanAnimal's stand pipes will be used for the overflow.
Return : 3/4" Loc-lines with flared nozles.
Powerheads : 2 Vortech MP40w ( and 2 Tunzes if wife permitting )
Chiller : Teco TR20, neverfailing and tough as the arctic ice!
