So I finally pulled the trigger today at RAP :marchmellow:, This will be my first build so hopefully you guys will enjoy it. After having two "beginner" tanks, I think I am ready to set up a bigger tank, I didn't want to set up something to big because I plan on moving in the next year or two so this 45 gallon tank will be perfect. I decided to go shallow because I think they look really cool. I plan on making this a mixed reef, but mostly softies and LPS maybe throw in an anemone or two. I should be picking up the tank sometime next weekend. This will be my first tank with plumbing so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Heres the Specs:
Stand: 36x24x30
Tank: 45g 36x24x12 Starfire on all sides
Sump: 20g, 4 chambers
Skimmer: CADlights PLS100
Flow: Mp10 and a 425 hydro nano
Controller: Reef Keeper Lite, (Only have the temp probe but will get the PH probe soon)
Light: AI Hydra mounted with the (AI Rail System)(AI controller)
Sand: 60 pounds of Fiji Pink
ATO: JBJ w/ toms aqua lifter (I've been using a 1 gallon container on my 22g last me about three days, will probably have to get a bigger one.)
As far as live rock goes, I plan on transferring it from my 22g about 40 pounds. I ordered a couple pieces of Cerameco Vida Rock so that will be in the display with the live rock going in the sump. Well thats my plan, again any advice would be appreciated
Almost forgot, huge thanks to Tony (OCreefmadness) great guy to work with and would highly recommend him.
