Hello SCR!
Its been awhile since I've been posted, nearly four years out of the hobby I've gotten the itch again.
The plan this time is to keep the system simple. I'll be the first one to admit I got carried away with tinkering experimenting with different reef keeping methods that ultimately made the whole hobby less enjoyable and more costly.
Here's a brief description of what I've got planned so far;
Tank: Reef Savvy euro braced low iron glass peninsula , with 2 ghost over flows 72X48X16.
my last tank was rimless and I really enjoyed the look of it but the salt creep was annoying.
Sump :Still deciding , probably 3 chambered 60x36x18 , option of filter socks
lighting: mostly likely will go with the ATI 60' Powermodule again,
Return pumps, 2x Abyzz , not sure which models, probably 200s
Flow, haven't decided, intrigued about closed loop. but so far on my qoute from reef savvy , 4 returns.
Skimmer: undecided.
I will be using a calcium reactor once everything is running, Not going to rush anything this time around . i have a Reef dynamics calcium reactor, the only piece of equipment I have left.
Heating: not sue but probably go with dual JBJ
Controller: APEX
The lead time for the tank is approx 8 months so I still have a lot of time deciding my set up. I haven't decided about placement as I recently bought a new house so I'm still debating. Im leaning towards sectioning off part of my garage.
Let me know of any thoughts or suggestions, totally open to ideas that will keep maintanence less cumbersome
