I am officialy starting a new tank again. After getting rid of my 180 I am coming back with a rimless 57. Can't wait, will start hopefully this weekend. Just a few questions, what kind of sump/refudge could I use and skimmer. There is so many out there I know but I am limited in what I can use as a sump/refudge because of the dimensions of the series two stand, it will be setup as a reef. Thanks guys for any inputs!

Well, we are going to be similar... I am 99% going to get the 75 rimless. My wife just said "Your birthday is coming up, go get it" Damn she makes it to easy!

What Lights are you using???

 

[cnotes999]

Yeah man that makes it easier when your other half wants it to lol! Good luck with your build. Right now I'm using these cheap led lights until see what the ecomarine LEDs look like or maybe the new AI.

Make sure you keep this update with what lights. I am doing LED's. No other option right now. LED's or no tank

I am looking at the octopus skimmer also. I am gonna run a 90 gal sump (well 90 gal tank, not gonna fill it all the way.

Did you just move all the stuff from your nano into that tank??? Not going to cycle this on its own? I would be worried when I added more rock.

Rob, looking great so far.

One recommendation that can help your ongoing maintenance is your return pump chamber. You'll find that the only area you'll have visible evaporation is from this section of your sump. It will be much easier to maintain the topoff level if you increase the size of the chamber where your return pump sits. From what I can see in the picture below it seems that chamber is a bit small.

Hope this helps
Russ

Got some new pics to post. Just waiting until the Ecotech lights come out to compare between the AI's. Enjoy.
