Good morning, I will post details of my new project because when I have seen other threads of this sort, it has been useful for innovative ideas. I have been reefing for about 20 years and for this tank I am using all my experiences to help me design a stable tank that does'nt make the living room look like a laboratory and using only necessary equipement that IME has a good value/performance ratio. For example, my skimmer is a Coralife super skimmer, because I have run one side by side with a Deltec and aside from the price I did'nt notice enough performance difference to merrit the price difference, but I digress. So after researching reviews and forums (along with my own personal experiences) this is my equipement list.
Tank- Perfecto 60 gallon cube w/overflow..(bad reviews, but I got it working fine)
Lights- Radion XR30W
Flow- 3x Hydor + the return that makes about 37x tank volume of flow.
Skimmer- Coralife SS 125
2x BRS dosers for 2 part
Reef fanatic top-off unit hooked up to a kalkwasser mixer
The rest of the bits and pieces are probably not worth mentioning, but the system works like this:
Main tank overflows down to rubbermaid 8 gallon sump that holds the skimmer, Rowaphos and carbon.
That 1st sump flows down to a 5 gallon macro algae only fuge, which then flows to the 3rd and last sump, a 25 gallon tank which 80% is used as a remote DSB and the last 20% has the return .
I will post pics in a day or two.
