Well it’s time to upgrade, replace the old Lee mar 110 gal tank as the seams are going out. It’s been over a decade running. The next tank will be an innovative marine 200 ext. It’s made to order and probably gonna take 4-6 months from now. I decided on the peninsula because I wanted to see all 3 sides. And more room for corals.
So that means time to collect equipment and look for deals. I am going to start over from scratch. Maybe with a couple rocks from the current tank to cycle. It’s been a hot minute since the last time I setup a tank.
Here are some of my equipment choices. I plan to run hybrid approach with two different controller. Running both controllers allows me to have the best of both equipment choices and redundancy as fail safe. I plan to go hydros and apex route
Return pump: reef octopus varios 6 pumps
Skimmer: Royal exclusive 200
Powerhead: Reef octopus varios and Ai Nero7
Heaters: 2 300 watt brs and 2 300watt ebo jagger with ink bird controller as primary
Controller: Neptune Apex, Hydro
Testing: Hydro-Maven, Trident - No
Lighting: undetermined
Supplement: 2 part and diy calrx
