New 75 g upgrade

[tzabor10]

Finally upgrading my 40 breeder QT system to a drilled 75 g tank with a real stand!
Found this Seapora 75 Regular 48”x18”x20” at my LFS (Low Tide Corals). They drilled it with a low profile Fiji Cube external overflow.
Got 4 Reefbrite 48” Actinic Blues and one Kessil AP9x to start.
Electrician installed 3 dedicated 20a GCFI outlets each with dedicated breakers.
Running a 26” Trigger platinum sump
Skimmer is Reef Octopus Elite 150-INT
2 - 200W Titanium heaters from BRS controlled by an Inkbird WiFi
Using 2 MP10’s and one MP40 with an Ecotech battery backup.
Return pump was leftover from a long time ago.
but really want dual Ecotech Vectra S2s.
Kamoer F4 pro dosing.
Icecap 40 W UV sterilizer
GFO and Carbon BRS reactors.
Going to build a custom remote Refugium.
Have a package coming from Tampa Bay Saltwater with a full load of the best rocks.
Back of the tank is frosted with a LED bar for added color.

Nice

Added water, got it moving. Stray voltage from an old pump was unwelcome. Next weekend I’ll drill the remote sump and get the ATO running.

ATO is running out of a bucket. Skimmer worked well in testing. Can’t wait to get my electric cabinets assembled. These floor wires are not safe.

Don't you lose a lot of light with the egg crate for tops?

Haven’t really had all the lights on other than that test them. 4 Reefbrite XHO actinic blue and one Kessil aP9x. Should be enough light for now. I will definitely string up screens when it is time to ramp things up.
Thanks for the suggestion

Attached the DIY Refugium/ cryptic sump. It’s causing micro bubbles. Assembled one power cabinet. Believe it or not, it’s super organized (by my standards)

Leave tar diy refugium running. My bet is it will build a slime and stop the micro bubbles.
