So on to the next tank. After selling the 230 discus/amazon tank/dart frog tank it's back to reefing.
Plan:
Tank: 30 by 30 by 28 tall, back overflow, herbie, dual return concept made
Flow: 2 mp10's plus wp10 plus returns
Substrate: reef special, only 1- 1.5 inches
Lighting: Mitra, possible 4 retrofit T-5s also kessil 360 for rock tower highlighting
Stand: iron with 3/4 inch skirting and canopy, all doors held by magnets as well as canopy doors
Control: Apex with added modules
Rock: Pukani from Elli/concept plus shelf rock
Coral: all sps
Skimmer: csc 250
Ro/Di: BRS
That's the plan and I would like to have water in it by sunday so lots to do this weekend. Here's where I am at right now.
Tank with added child because why not
