So here is the start of my new journey, i will start the build this week and hopefully be done in a few days...
Tank:
1250*1000*500 3 sides viewable in starphire, the stand is 1000mm high so that i can keep everything underneath it.
Sump will be a 1200x400x300 in which will be used mostly for acclimation of new corals and fish into the main system. Skimmer will be a Reef Octo 5000 Ext run on a waveline DC 5000L, the return will be via 2 x 32mm pipes on a DC 10000L, with 2 50mm drains. my goal is to keep this low tech and reliable., the lighting will be 3 x Orphek DIF100 XP suspended about 10cm above the tank. for flow i am going to use vortechs, had these for a while and they are the best flow pumps i have used.
I plan to use a Reef Octo Carx and Kalk Reactor, as well as carbon and bio-cubes.
for the biological filtration i will use a Reef Octo zeolite reactor filled with seachem matrix and dosed with prodibio
i will take pics of the build when i start.
