I had sold all my reef tanks thinking that I could get by on just a little 30g seahorse tank.....boy was I wrong! The hubby talked me into designing another reef. Here's my 150g...a slow going project!

Tank dims: 48"x30"x24" (LxWxH)
Dual Calfo External Overflow 30"x4"x6"
Two 3/4" sump returns drilled top of brace
Four 1" closed loop (CL) returns drilled corners of bottom of tank
1.5" CL intake drilled lower corner below overflow box
Overflow and CL intake side painted black

I have most of the equipment for the tank, I just have to have a stand built for it. It's going to be a see through or island tank.

Equipment
CL pump: Sequence Reeflo Dart 3600 GPH plumbed to an OceansMotions 4-way
Sump pump: 1260 Eheim 635 GPH
ASM G2 skimmer w/DIY recirrculation mod
Ca Reactor made by a buddy
Lighting: Dual 250w Halides w/ Lumenarc III reflectors
Two 48" T5s w/ Icecap reflectors and 660 ballast
AC Jr. controller

Sump: 75g 36"x24"x20" with a 25g refugium 22"x16"x17". I'm going to Y the return from the overflow, one going into the bubble trap and the other into the refugium.

The next step is the plumbing....the part I absolutely hate!!!
When finished, it will sort of look like this tank but, again....it's going to viewed from both sides.
