Default Kraken's 166 Rectangle

Hey guys!

Thought i'd post my build thread here and share my tank from the ground up with y'all. What was anticipated to be a simple tank setup, became a huge basement rennovation!

Here was the basic plan of the tank from AutoCad:



Its gunna be a 40"x40"x24" with bean animal overflow, as well as 2 returns on the sides that will be mounted on the euro brace if I decide to go that path (might decide on rimless). This will be 3 sided starfire glass.

Equipment as of now:

- Custom DIY Led's from my old tank
- Neptune Apex Controller to run my lights
- BK Mini 200
- Eheim 1262 for Return

Still need to get:

- Still deciding on Tunze Vs Ecotech powerheads (Had noise issues with my last vortech's)

- Lots of dry rock
- Designing Sump in the next few days.
- Dead sand (I do not want live sand)

Well thats all for now. Will update once I have some progress.
