Good luck. May the frags be with you.

That big tank is 5' long, 30" front to back and 20something tall. Probably 180-200.

Hello tangs again. I have not had many in 5 or 6 years.

Another batch of water added. Did some sand. Not much. Just enough for my Christmas wrasse to bury himself.

I need to decide what sump to use. The diy 40g breeder or eshopps. I would use the 40g hands down, but it has no fuge.

Thinking about just making one from one of my qt tanks

40/B...the eshopps looks smaller.

How big is the eshopps?

 

[reefling]

Eshopps is close to 29g size. I put the 40g under it.

I need to figure out a refugium now.

40 breeder for sump and make a refugium attachment.

 

[reefling]

That is what I am looking at now. I might do a satellite fuge. Maybe a 20g long.

The rolling ball of cheato is a better idea unless you can incorporate a small turf scrubber into the 20 long. A rolling ball of cheato is the most consistent and reliable form of biological export in my experience, but it requires more of a cube structure to function correctly.

Is 6 or 7 inches of sand in these still a thing? Then put some macro on top?

Got the rock in and put another batch of water in. Tomorrow I figure out the fuge.

Almost ready to finish filling. Mixed the salt and it came up a bit light. It was 1.020, and I need this batch to be closer to 1.030

Well dang Corey. You go!

Third light is on the way. I still need to do the fuge. I bought a 15g today, but I have not tried to drill it yet.

Giving this thing a float valve. Pro tip. Drill the middle baffle of the bubble trap, then you can freely go from one way to the other, and if you crack the baffle, it is not load baring.
