Okay so this build is finally happening and we are super excited about it! My boyfriend and I have been waiting almost a year to get this up and we are finally in the (almost - fingers crossed for tomorrow) plumbing stage!
Here's the specs:
- 75G Tank
- 2x 165W LED Dimmable Lights
- Glass Holes 1500GPH Overflow
- 3/4 in Loc Line Flare Return
- Corals from my 29G tank to go in!
- Reef Synergy SS-34 Sump
- Jebao DC-6000 Return Pump
- Reef Octopus XP-1000SSS 6" Space Saver Skimmer
Now since Friday is payday for both of us we will be ordering/purchasing:
- 75lbs of Reef Saver Dry Rock
- 3x 25lb bag of DRY sand from our LFS
- 2x EITHER Jebao RW-4 or RW-8 (still haven't decided)
Some plans we have for this tank:
- Filling it with corals and beautiful reef safe fish and a few choice inverts
- Adding in a reactor system to run GFO and carbon
- Adding an eventual dosing system
- And much more ..
The plumbing will be two 1.5" overflow PVC pipes with lots of unions and both will have gate valves (if we can find them, otherwise we have ball valves). There will be two 45's bringing the line into the sump. The return will be a 3/4" with a check valve and also lots of unions. We are also considering attaching the flex tube from the return pump to the PVC.
Now it's time for pictures!
This is the tank:
This is the sump and oh my goodness it looks incredible (sorry for the stock photo forgot to snap one but it's exactly the same)
Here's the overflow
Here is the (unfinished) stand:
And the lights!
Will update with pictures as we progress to the plumbing stage
