New build about to start

Nice!

Coast to Coast is right down the road from me.

 

lol shes a lil punk, funny thing is this sump is big enough to house my fuge so I dont have to make a seperate fuge which im happy about. So now back to orignal plan and just havign 2 1inch drains for this setup for the calfo overflow. Im so dang excited about this new tank that its ridiculious!

 

Sounds good overall. What type of coral are you planning on keeping? 2 K2's is not a lot of flow for a 75 IMO.

 

ya its 2 k2's with dual returns back up, considerign putting a mag9.5 or a mag12, all four of those will def be enough flow. All im keeping is softies since my puffer only likes to eat the hard corals (lil punk). So a really nice softie tank!

O ya getting bout 100lbs of base rock for 25 bucks from same guy, god this buy was freakin awesome. Now I can have around 120lbs of rock in the new tank. Maybe I can make a clown cave for my clowns since 1 keeps hanging out in one of my caves all day and onloy comes out during feeding. This is gonna be a fun build and will def take lots of pics over the process!

 

Heres some more updated pic, got the custom stand and about 97lbs of rock, grand total spent so far is 175 bucks and 4 corals (LT toadstool,red acro, chalice,polyp) Heres some pics and will continue to update as the build progresses.

Stand



Rock!

 

Am I understanding right? You are going to be running 2 OF boxes on your tank. Why 2? Why not 1 that could handle the flow you are after? It seems to me that running 2 (if thats what your doing) would be 1 more thing that could possibly fail. BTW it looks like everything is coming together very nicely.

 

nah c2c overflow which will be using the beananimal drain setup.

 

My mistake I understand now. Thanks

 

now just gotta wait for some more money to finish the stand, best part is though ima have about 175lbs of rock for the new tank which is awesome. I cant believe i got it for this cheap, guys a really cool reefer and ima be hooking him up with some more corals once they get bigger. God I love cool reefers that try and make others tanks better than what they are! Cheers to reefers!
