Default SPS Dominated Evolution Aqua

Tank:
Evolution Aqua 1200S - approx 48" x 24" x 18"H - roughly 95G including sump.


The cabinet/stand is nothing special. But the display is really nice. The work on the glass and silicone is excellent.


Sump area.


Return:
Ecotech Marine Vectra M1

Skimmer:
Deltec SC 1456 - rated for 1000litres

Light:
ATI Hybrid - *still to purchase*. Will be 8xT5 and 3x75watt LED clusters

Flow:
1 x MP40
1 x Tunze 6095

Filtration:
Undecided...likely keep it simple so will be mix of Seachem Matrix and Siporax

Dosing:
ATI Essentials. This is a new offering from ATI; it is essentially similar to balling lite.

This will be a very slow build. I have literally no time. :headwallblue: 3 kids...4th on the way...and work being ever so busy. In fact I was forced to accept delivery of the tank several weeks early as the LFS is sadly closing down and my tank had already been sitting in the store over 4 or 5 weeks.

The current 47G tank was moved across the room a few weeks ago so that I could accept delivery of the new tank and could transfer the stock over slowly. Both tanks will be running until I am satisfied the filtration is ok and the parameters stable.

Fish stocking:
The fish stock will be kept low-moderate. One of the reasons for the upgrade was so that I could keep a Regal Angel and a Convict Tang.

Thank you for the nice words.

A bit about the sump: currently there is only the Deltec 1456 Skimmer and 2 trays containing 4 litres of Seachem Matrix stones. I bought 10 litres of Siporax which I'm going to over today. I think I will leave it at that for the filtration. I will add 1/4 dosage Biopellets later if the filtration needs a little help.

The plumbing consists of:
2 x Oceanlife Overflows. The Ecotech Vectra M1 is split using a 1inch Y splitter and returns the water to the display via 1inch soft pipes. The drains are 1.5inch.
