After much thought I have decided to do the Split and go Pure SPS or Pure LPS Tank. My brother has had much success with his Nano's over the years so he has also inspired me in this new venture.
I will be setting up a Innovative Marine Fusion 20 as my new Nano LPS tank (more details on this later this week). AND a custom built 800x400 SPS tank that I am planning:
Below is a pic of the tank and the sump idea:
Main and Stand:
Sump:
The Below hardware will be going into this SPS Nano:
Tank will be 800mm Wide, 400mm Deep, and 350mm High with the Water level at 320mm made from 8mm glass. With a Total Water Volume of Roughly 160 Litres (excluding rock and sand displacement)
Sump will be 700mm x 300mm x 300mm (with the MAX water level when no power on tank at 260mm)
Bubble Magus Curve 5 skimmer
2x Jeboa Rw-8 Wave Makers
2x Kessils A150w
300w Heater
Resun CL300 chiller
Bubble Magus Mini 80 reactor
filter sock
auto top unit
LED unit for sump
3000lt per hour return
Carbon in Bag
I have all of the hardware already, just need to buy the glass and wood and start the actual build. Will start the build at the end of May.
While on the drawings the cupboard is white, this will all be painted to a high polish gloss black with Silver Door Handles. I plan on using 8mm Starfire Glass for the front and two sides with black silicon and a black vinyl cover for the back. The rest of the tank and sump will be made from 8mm standard glass, no brackets.
I wont be keeping all my fish when I do the split so I am sure I will have some items for sale soon. With regards to the corals, well I will have a few LPS frags soon in order to cut down the to smaller Fusion 20 Tank. Also means that the Current Tank and Sump (including stand), as well as the Improved Living unit will be available for sale in 1 - 2 months from now.
