Aquarium Advice Freak
Hey guys this is my first saltwater build/thread. I'm finally getting there! Here's a list of what I have so far:
40g aquarium
29 or 20g aquarium for sump
magdrive 7 pump
2 hydor fully submersible heaters
glass-holes 700gph overflow box
Coralife super skimmer smallest version(I plan on upgrading down the road)
reef master test kit
saltwater master test kit
IO Reef crystals 200g box
Mostly finished super awesome metal stand(pics soon)
redsea hydrometer( I'll get a hydrometer soon don't worry)
1 hydor koralia 750gph
1 or 2 hydor koralia 550gph
eggcrate
....other cool stuff
Right now I plan on having mostly soft corals, maybe some sps down the road, or something. I'm going to get most of my rock for super cheap from somewhere and half or less from www.Tampabaysaltwater.com-The stuff they have is amazing! I plan on doing a DIY LED fixture probably a month or two down the road from now. (www.rapidled.com)
My sump is going to be divided in two - 1st section being the refugium, 2nd - return. the protein skimmer will just hang off the front of the sump. (for now at least, I don't know)
I still have to buy an RO/DI unit so I'm going to buy the 5stage PLUS unit from BRS during the group buy which Carey has so nicely set up.
I'll have two 55 gallon drums for mixing saltwater/ storing water and stuff.
I really just have to figure out plumbing and some other little odds and ends and this puppy will be up and running! Also I am in school and working and stuff so this thread might get pretty sparse fairly regularly, but stay tuned.
29g sump
Overflow Elbow
Aquarium and some goods
I will have pics of the stand, and completed sump tomorrow hopefully.
