Checking in...

Just checking in.

I started about 8 years ago with freshwater. I had a 55 gal. that I ran for a few years with great success until I moved and all was lost. So, now with renovations being done a saltwater tank will be a nice addition to the new living space in the house.

I ordered a 75gal. AGA with an overflow. I also picked up a 40gal. breeder during the big Petco sale for $40 to use as a sump. I'll be building my own sump and stand. Once I get things going I'll start a build thread with many pics.

The tank will be a reef tank with some easy to maintain coral and a few fish. My proposed gear list is as follows thus far:

- 75 Gal. AGA with Megaflow Overflow
- 40 Gal. Breeder Sump w/ Fuge
- Coralife Super Skimmer 220
- Mag 7 or a 9.5
- Probably Retrofit T5's into a DIY Canopy (Not sure on which bulbs yet)
- DIY LED Moonlights
- Unsure on heaters
- 100+/- lbs. Live Sand
- 50-75 lbs. Live Rock
- Chaeto for the fuge in the sump

The tank comes in this week. Looking forward to getting started!

Hello and welcome to 3reef

 

Welcome.

Can't beat a 300w Rena smart heater. It can do flow through....I have mine running of the maxi jet 1200 flow from my carbon reactor. Safe reliable heater.

 

Welcome to 3reef. If you want to grab some ideas, look at my 90gal build thread. I have a lot a great ideas from trial & error in detail. Better to learn from others headaches & expenses. lol...
