The 130 Fish Box - with some softies

[ziyaadb]

Ok so the tank is finally setup. Initially it was to be SPS dominated but then i decided against it as i will not have the time to maintain it as i would like plus i would rather have the coral munchers in the tank as well as a leka big fish load. so breakdown of the system
130*70W*55H
Reef inmates 8*54 T5 unit currently only using 4 bulbs:
2*20K
1*Actinic
1*12K
will add a 8800k as well as another actinic
Reefocto cone XP2000 skimmer
Eheim 1260 return pump
currently 3*12000 lph Sun Suns in the tank 1 will be pointed towards the bottom of the tank(yes tank will remain BB) and the other 2 will be mounted on the back glass deflected of the right and left panes of the tank so they will not be very visible
Around 40Kg live rock
Water boy 2 in 1 that will run Purigen as well As rowaphos running of Halei 500Lph pump - to be connected
BEEG Otto Fluidised bed filter that will run carbon Think will add 500g of carbon in there at a time and will be running of a Halei 500Lph pump - to be connected.

Proposed fish list

All types of mushrooms all and any colours(these will be to cover the base of the tank)
GSP

Will try a few Digi's for the stick effect
Anything else that wont get munched and does not need a LNS

Nice Ziyaad

Have you sorted the overflow noise yet?

[ziyaadb]

YUp filled the overflow with strips of Plastic leathergrain. Made it much quieter. Will be a bit of work to clean once in a while but its worth it. If u look carefully at the overflow u will see it

600L - No over ratings with the blasters considering that this pump pulls in between 1000 and 1400lph of air which is on the same level as the old TS4
