I would like a full SPS tank I think. Still thinking about it at the moment. I really like Zoas too! As for fish I really like Tangs and Wrasses. I haven't figured out exactly which ones I'd like though.

Thanks! I stopped for a bit because I moved into a condo and couldn’t fill my tank there. I finally moved into a place where I could start my build again. Couldn’t be happier about it lol.

I had Concept build it. I’ll be sure to take some photos. I’m a plumber so it should turn out nice. The sump should be here in a couple of weeks. I wish it would just get here lol.

That was one short tank journal. Started yesterday, tank for sale today.

So I have two things to update you guys on. One is the sump is nearing completion and should be shipped from Anaheim tomorrow. I made a mistake in the last post saying the sump was coming from Elite Aquatics when in fact its coming from Advanced Acrylics. Secondly my new tank is just about to be finished up and shipped out. I'm just waiting on the acrylic teeth to be installed. Everything should be here by the end of next week (hoping).

The sump is a custom triton style sump. The first section is a fuge area with 5 - 1" bulkheads for the drains from two tanks. The second section is the skimmer section with an adjustable baffle. It has 5 - 1/4" bulkheads for dosing and ato lines. The third section is the return section. It has 2 - 1 1/2" bulkheads for the return and media reactor pump(s) (if I choose to go with a second pump for the media reactors or just stick with one pump for both the return and media reactors) It also has another 1" bulkhead for expansion. The last section is an ato which has a 1" bulkhead for whatever reason and 1 - 1/4" bulkhead for the ato pump. Total water volume is 66.5 Gallons excluding the ATO section. Total fill volume should be around 48.9 Gallons. The ATO section is 9.7 Gallons.

Thanks! Well I’ve been taking my time and doing things properly. I’ve had a few builds in the past to learn from.

I have always wanted A Fuge to begin with and I want to try something different. Let’s not forget about not having to do water changes!
