120 reef and 210 FOWLR in-wall build!!

The measurements are 48 X 24 X 24. The aquarium is reef ready with two blue acrylic overflow with 1 ¾ holes. Here are some pictures of the aquarium:




i need to buy the other aquarium. it will measure 84 X 24 X 24. i will order it in two weeks from today but should i have it drilled for the overflow?? i will build the wall in a month from today. im thinking of starting with dry rock and seeding it.

 

that 1st tank looks huge efrainz
the second one will be mega

FOWLR for both tanks - are you going for predators or big fish species in the larger ones

very cool! again i love in wall tanks, one day when i own a home, i would love to have a huge inwall

 

I envy you, I can't imagine the electric bill.
blue overflows, how come the background is not blue to match?
can't wait to see this chronicled.

 

diggin' the blue. i dont think i've seen that before.

 

Update:

I have purchased a protein skimmer. It’s an Aquac EV-400 and I’m planning on using an Iwaki 55RLT for a pump. I also purchased an Iwaki 70RLT for a return pump. I want to use base rock but I want to buy from bulk reef supply. I’m thinking of buying 100-150lb of Fiji Premium Dry Rock and 100lb of Pukani Dry Rock. Has anybody bought dry rock from Bulk Reef Supply?

 

For Iwakis, the RLT's are good for circulation and closed loops while the RXLT's make the best return pumps. A mag24 could be another option for the skimmer and at about $100 less it might be worth looking into.

sooo are you connecting these 2 setups together in 1 sump system?

Update

I read that RXLT are return pump but I don’t think Iwaki makes a 70 rxlt. They only make
The Iwaki 70rtl is for the 120 and the Iwaki 55rlt will power my protein skimmer for the 210.
I order the 210 tank today ;D (84.5 x 24.5 x 25.5)and will be ready for pick up next Thursday

 

Cool, how much did it cost you? Acrylic? Glass?

 

Sweet! Why are the overflows blue? You havent taken the protective cover off yet or is that a Acrylic?
