So....for reasons i care not discuss, i'm building a new tank. I'm going from a 180 gallon with a 125 gallon sump, to a 60 cube with a 45 gallon sump. Actually kinda excited for this cause i've had bigger and bigger tanks in the past and it's gonna be interesting to go smaller.
Tank is a Deep Blue rimless cube 24x24x24 (60gal) with corner overflow, and low iron glass.
Building my own stand and floating canopy.
Sump is a 24x24x16 cube (45gal) - it will be divided up for a sock, skimmer, fuge and return.
Going with metal halide to start....LED's later. 400w radium 20k for bulb
2 reactors with biopellets and gfo.
1/4hp chiller
1 vortech mp40wes
return is a mag 5
Using some of the old equipment from the 180: ACII, BrS 2 part dosers, tlf reactors etc
Going with a sand bed of about 2" plus a sparse rock setup.
pics so far:
