New and here to learn

Hi all,
Im new to this site and i'm here to learn, I've been reading, researching, and asking many questions for months now and I feel you can't have enough resources to turn to for mentoring/ opinions. I would also like to join my local reef club to find one mentor to help me here locally, somebody that has a tank close to what I want to keep and can come over and physically look at what i'm doing right or wrong.

I've been buying parts over the last 5 months now just waiting to put it all together. I have my sump and refug up and running but my DT is off line as I need my dry rock and sand to start it.

My tank info:
75g drilled dt, 16g operational sump, 40g bare bottom refug, oct. ext. 200 skimmer, sicce 4 return pump, 2x sicce 4 power heads, eheim heaters, RKL with 2x p4's- sl1- and alc mods, typhoon3 extreme ro/di, 2x 44g brute cans with pure in one and mix in other.

 

Welcome to 3reef.

Sound like you are on the right track, congratulations on the new set-up.

4- t5's for now but already reasearched the led options. Found I'm going with Thomas drivers w/ 10v contol because of RK alc, these drivers are more stable all around and Cree 3w emmiters. Maybe after a yr or so I will upgrade, by then the price of the emmiters will have come down as Cree is already working on a new emmiter of coarse.

 

Hello and welcome to 3reef

 

seems like you have everything in order......what kind of tank are you looking to run? and i dont think i have every seen a fuge that big, lol......i first thought it had to be a mix up between the sump and fuge lol......best of luck to ya....AND WELCOME TO 3REEF

 

LOL, it's my old 47 show and the more volume is always better so figured what the hay LOL. DT will be reef, not sure what kinds yet but I know sps will come after my DIY led's and the tank gets more matured.
