Let's just start this one off with a little pic of the tank at the old owners house....
The tank is a 120g LeeMar 48x24x24. It has polished edges with a trapezoid Overflow made out of black acrylic. I bought the tank last week for a very decent price and it has sat in my garage for a week with about 10g of water and a gallon of vinegar to break down the hard water spots. Today me and my uncle( http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums...-my-90g-braceless-framless-tank-36x24x24.html) built a stand. Well most of the frame. We ran out of wood screws. Anyhow here's a few pics....
Lighting....
Lighting will be 2-250w MH and 4 vho super actinic bulbs.
I'm kind of torn between a few ballasts at the moment. Galaxy, IC, Coralvue, PFO. I'm a cheapskate so when I see a used setup I like I'll just jump on it. Definately would like to go with a wide spread reflector like Lumenarc, lumenbright, Etc. I got a brand new IC 660 and endcaps for christmas so that's covered. MH bulbs will be Hamilton 14k's unless someone has any other recommendation. Lighting will be suspender from the ceiling and I'll have a false canopy to block most of the light from leaving the tank.
Return pump...
I have a Eheim 1262 that I got used in a deal that I'll probably use till I can afford to buy something with a little more GPH. Thoughts on this pump or another would be greatly appreciated. I plan on having a little manifold powering my 2LF,Calcium reactor,Refugium.
Sump....
40g Breeder with 3 sections. Skimmer,return and fuge.tank will drain into the skimmer section into a filter sock.
Skimmer....
Octopus Extreme 200.
Water movement will be 2 maxi jet mods 2200. If I have enough pressure left in the Ehiem then I'll be adding a flow accelerator. Does anyone know if this pump will be able to handles this?
I think that's it for now. I would love to hear everyone's opinion. Maybe some pics of everyone's favorite stand too so I can get a few ideas.Thanks
