3, just got a 27G Cube in the process of setting it up as a SPS reef. with maybe a pair of clowns...
4, 15+ years my last tank was 135gal Oceanic, 200lbs LR and 200lbs LS w/60gal sump/ref, 3-250watt MH 2X13k & 1X 20k, 330watts VHO Over the Tank, and 150watt VHO 10k over sump/ref, Dart Pump@3600gph for the returns, 1/3HP chiller, and 25Watt UV. ASM G-2 Skimmer all of which is sitting in my garage.
5, 15+ year wait wasn't that number 4? lol
6, ya i can always use another brain, so my tank is 20x18x20 i am going to be moving about 800gph thru the 2, 3/4" returns, 150watt MH 13k pendant, 20G sump/Refg, 4" filter sock, LED light over sump, AquaEuroUSA Protein Skimmer 135, 300watt heater, going with a fan over my sump to keep the temp in check i have my 1/3hp chiller if i need it... Going to order the glass-holes 1500 gph Overlfow Box and drill the tank myself i will also be drilling the 2, 3/4" returns. i have dead rock from my 135G which i am soaking now in RO water and i have 40lbs Ocean Direct Caribbean live sand Oolite, i will be mixing my own salt water using H2ocean. Ok so what am i forgetting? does this sound about right for a sps tank? am i going over board with the flow? i dont want any power heads in my tank needs to look clean so all my flow will come from my returns. my goal is to have no wires or anything coming out of the top of my tank as it will have No canopy so needs to look clean.. i will buy some live rock even if just use it in my sump/refg to help seed my dead rock. Also should i go Led's over my tank instead of MH? i really like the shimmer of the MH and im just not sure i know the Led's last forever and very little heat and uses less power with all that said i went out and bought a Giesemann Pendant but i can always sell it and go Led if its worth it... Thanks to all in advance.
