Thanks too all that take a look at this post, I am sure this topic may have been covered in the past...
I have a (48" x 19" x 31") 110 Gallon tank, I am going to have about 6"-8" DSB in the tank and now this is where I have questions;
I have a spare 33 gallon tank (48" x 12" x 13") -- Leaving me virtually with no room for length in the stand but about 12-14" clearance from the top of the 33 inside the stand to the bottom of the tank, above.
I can see space being an issue if I want to make additions to the filter below. Or is it...
What would be my optimal way to filter this tank, refuge & Skimmer, Wet Dry?? A guy at work his father owns a plastic's place actually he primarily works with LEXAN is that SW safe? I would assume its pretty inert, but please let me know if it is not. If it is, I was going to get him to cut some partitions for inside the 33 to create the refuge and dividers etc.... Am I better off getting a smaller tank for the refuge, or is this going to be okay for future maintenance and filtration accessibility.
I am pretty much overwhelmed with research information and now want to narrow it down so I can get this tank started. How many powerheads should I have in the tank and what should the flow (which kind of pumps should I look at) from the tank to the sump/refuge below be?? The total height from bottom of sump to top of tank is 55."
What I would like to do is - Please feel free to give thoughts on this part:
2 x 150w heaters
light the tank with 2x400w MH lights and two 96w PC.
6-8" DSB
Euro-Reef ES6-2+ or CS6-2+
So looking at filtration options and water flow options..
THANK YOU FOR READING this article, I appreciate all your comments and advice given to me -- I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
