Thanks Guys.

 

overflow box? grounding probe? thermometer? gate valve for the return?

 

Salt Mix

 

Damn that is a big chiller!!!! I am running a 1/3 on my 150 and it handles it with ease!!!

 

Here's something to consider:
Get the JBJ wave controller for your MJ's. Yes it's cheap, but it is HIGHLY effective. I got one for mine, and it made a HUGE difference with the tank. You can get the smaller model (2X) and split all four off of them. Seriously the best $60 I have spent on my tanks, ever.

 

I left out that I currently use a reefkeeper 2 to control temp and wavemaking. Thanks all that answered.

As for the chiller i found one on craigslist for $300 so i just couldnt pass it up.

 

And H20 Duhh... with out these 2 you will have a glass box with rock and sand.....


haaha

 

Ok smarty dont forget you are working for food on transfer day.....

 

I'm not sure how much detail you're looking for but this is what I'm thinking.

Heaters
More live rock, 35lbs in a 150g is not going to be enough. I think minimum is 1lb per gallon just to get enough filtration in the system unless it's really lightly stocked.
Something to scrape algae with, I use a kent scraper as well as the mag float type cleaners.
Test kits: Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, magnesium, calcium, alkalinity at least maybe phosphate too?
RODI unit for making water
All the plumbing for overflows and returns
Maybe a carbon/phosphate reactor (not necessary up front but maybe down the road something to consider)
Auto Topoff container/system (auto isn't necessary but sure makes life much easier)
Container for mixing saltwater for water changes
Refractometer (not mandatory but totally worth the investment over the crappy swing arm hydrometers)

That mag 18 is pretty big for that tank, you could run with a mag 9 on that tank pretty easy I think.

Just some ideas/suggestions.

 

Well then i am still waiting payment for the tank pick up and delivery.......


HA...!!!!
