I am finally rolling on this system. My time has been very restricted with my other business, but this system is going to be the main display for my new aquarium retail store which will be open in 2015. The idea is to make everything easy to maintain and lay it out so that it is easy to clean equipment or add new things as necessary.
There will be a wall behind the 300 which I will put up after I am done building.
A temporary skimmer is being used right now to help cycle the rock. Most of it started as dry rock.
The lower 40br tank and the 220g sump will both be filled with just live rock. A few times per year, I plan on removing and cleaning the rock, though there are filter socks in place to keep anything big from getting into it.
The upper 40br tank is a frag grow-out tank. I only plan on keeping a handful of large SPS colonies in the display. By keeping this tank, I can buy more colonies and not put them in until they are larger and take off. I also can monitor them for pests in the same system that they will be in permanently. The lighting on this tank is a single 250w SE radium on an icecap ballast with a lumitek elite reflector. The display will have three of the same lights, with six additional AI sols and four 6ft actinic t5 tubes. I'll dive more into that as it is built out.
Updates are going to be relatively slow.
