So after a 10 year hiatus I have set up another system.
Going to use same old equipment for now and looking for a wide variety of live stock, not to keen on acros since I like movement and again simple.
Display is a custom 36x20x20 from AA with ½ inch acrylic.(John does such amazing work)
Sump is trigger systems saphire 26.
The system will be controlled by an legacy AC Jr. Since it works fine and I don't need/want any more automation than it supplies.
Return will supply most flow via quiet one 4000 routed through a SCWD ¾ and an enductor on each return.
Flow behind aqua scape suplied by a single koralia evolution.
Next reef midia reactor
(Modded to hell) will run bio pallets.
And I have a simple yet functional SCA-301 skimmer.
For lighting I have a 4x36 bulb t5 setup running a mix of lamps yet to be determined, but I have 8 ATI lamps available to make a nice mix with.
I plan to do some upgrades soon with the pumps and possibly dropp off two t5s for an led fixture.
Started my cycle on 2/27/24 with a mix of 80 lbs of live sand between the display and refugium and 70 lbs of live rick from Age of aquariums...thanks Dan for the great deal.
Since I have been out for a while most of my normal LFS have closed and the tech in this hobby has changed so much, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I call Wrightwood home so all LFS are about an hour plus drive, if anyone is local and want to meet just drop me a message.
