Here is the dream in progress so far.

36"x36"24H One quote so far $499 3/8"acrylic w/overflow, haven't priced glass yet. It will be viewed from three sides. Internal overflow on the back side.

I am thinking running one 400w 14k halide in center. To start if I need more light I will add more.

For circulation I am thinking of running an ampmaster 2100 on a closed loop. possibly sitting level with the tank and right behind it. I would make the stand go behind the tank as well as below leaving room for the pump and CL plumbing. I was thinking of running the inlet and outlet of the closed loop through the back wall intakes 4-6"off bottom returns 4-6" from the top of the waterlevel. should put 20x through the tank. Going to run bare bottom and probably cover the back wall with rock. Hiding the overflow and the CL plumbing. and giving a "low" flow place for my lps.

I would run a custom sump underneath with a asm G3 skimmer and sectioned for refugium. Return pump would be a mag5 I am shooting for 2x turnover through the sump per hour (less through the refuge) allowing for good skimming.

What cha all think?
