Hi everyone. I just recently joined Chicago Reefs and I have met a lot of nice and intelligent new people. So I'm happy to show everyone my new build.
My build is going to be very similar to Anarchy's dual display build. 2 displays sharing one sump. However I'm going to be using a 40 breeder instead of his 27 cube.
The Equipment:
40 breeder drilled with Glass - holes 700gph overflow.
I'm using a 36" 4 bulb T5 fixture with ATI bulbs. ( unsure of which ones )
For additional light I'm going to be using 2 36" ecoxotic stunner strips. This will be for the 40.
For the 30. I have a 20" 6 bulb nova extreme T5 unit. For additional light I will be using 4-5 ecoxotic Panorama Pro modules.
For flow I have 2 RW4 for the 40 Breeder.
And 2 wp10 for the 30
Skimmer will be an Eshopps 150 Snowcone.
Heaters will be 1 200 watt aqueon pro and 1 100 watt aqueon pro.
Return pumps are undecided.
Stand will be built by me and my dad as we are getting materials tonight. We are also making custom canopy for lights.
Sump/Refugium
The sumps are 1 30" 20 gallon long for a refugium and 1 24" acrylic sump for skimmer and biopellet reactor.
I have collected everything so far except the overflow box and the stand and canopy.
Stocking Plans.
The 40 Breeder:
2 clowns (undecided on what kind)
1 Coris Wrasse
Some type of blenny.
30 gallon Deep Blue.
Some type of Wrasse 6 line or Coris
Small yellow tang. Once it gets too big it will go in my 125
Corals- mostly sps on 40 breeder and some nice LPS and Zoas.
The 30 will be a frag tank so whatever goes in there.
Thats about all I can think of. Lemme know if you have any suggestions or concerns. I will post pics when I'm closer to getting everything set up. Thanks for reading.
