Ok my wife has given me okay to upgrade. I will be taking my time and shopping around and putting everything together over next month or so. The area I have to work with is a 8.5 ft wide 3 ft deep nook. SO im thinking a 300 gallon W96"xD30"xH24". I would like to put it on 4 ft stand. please give input on what you think i need. It will be a sps reef like my current setup
1. tank 96"x30"xH24" will probaly buy from franks when ready unless I find a used one before then.
2. Sump need suggestions. I woud like 5 chambers. left to right filter socks>protein skimmer/pump for reactors>return pump>frag tank>refugium>filter socks. I would like to have the left side come into left side of sump and visversa. If this is a dumb Idea please let me know I was thinking at least a 100 gallon.
3. protein skimmer - Im thinking reef octopus 5000
4. I have brs reactors and mag 7 to run them already
5. stand I will weld a metal one then have a carpenter come in and make it look good.
6. ato i already have tunze osmolator
7. chiller - undecided
8. already have apex
9. lighting. Im a fan of t5 it is working well for me so here is my 2 ideas
A . 2 4ft 8 bulb dimable ati fixtures
B. 3 solatube with supplemental led strips for actintic and on cloudy days, probaly build my leds.
10. already have dosers.
11. return pump fluval sp6. im currently running mag 12 ill keep this as backup.
12. wave makers I have 2 tunze 6095 running at about 30% I was thinking 2 more and maybe a wave box.
Please give me any thoughts opinons. Nothing is set in stone like I said im taking my time. And purchasing items as i find good deals on them.
