Hey guys! marking the start of my latest build, will be posting as i go along! Any and all advice would be very much appreciated!
The tank has arrived, it is a 2,3m x 70 wide x 75 heigh DT ( 1210 litre) with a 1,5m x 59cm x 50 high (350 litre) sump. Building a 90 litre R.O. tank with ATo unit. The plan is a 10000 litre per hour DC return pipe, but i am contemplating going 15000 or 18000. Thoughts on this?
Furthermore, The skimmer i ordered has arrived, Reef octopus SRO-5000 INT, rated for 2400 litres. Filling up with Red Sea Coral pro salt, 3 x 22kg buckets already purchased, 3 Jager 300w heaters will be running. About 70 litre Refugium as part of the sump design. 3 x 50mm pvc pipes will be draining the tank into the sump through Bubble magus ARF-1 Automatic sump Filters. Aiming to run Coarse sponge into first compartment, the fine sponge and Seachem matrix, second compartment skimmer, 3rd compartment refugium which will be followed by a bubble trap into the last chamber which will house the return pump as well as a reactor or 2. Reef octopus OR-150 Ozone Reactor will be run outside of the sump, powered by a Aqua medic 200mg Ozone generator. I already have 2 Vortech MP 40 pumps running in existing system, another one will be added alongside a Vortech MP60 which should cover the flow. The lighting i will be using 6 Ecotech Marine Radion G3 pro's, already purchased, 2 currently being used on existing system. I currently have a Jebao 4-stage doser running, but will be replaced with apex dosers at a later stage. Every thing will run through a Neptune Apex controller which should arrive in the next few days.
If there is anything i have'nt covered or you guys think should be added, please comment.
Thanx alot guys in advanvce! pics will be uploaded shortly
