Hiya. So ive decided on a few things since my previous build thread. The skimmer will be a diy gravity fed, external & recirculating. Im selling my current new bottom of the market 75g and buying a new top of the line rimless 75g and having a custom made metal stand made. Everything from wavemakers to lighting to an apex system will be new. Most importantly of all and unlike my other 'plans' this one is actually funded and will make progress! Although it may not go as quick as we all hope it will progress.
A little about the time ill have to work on this. I picked up a 2nd job, i work 7 days a week now and 70 hours a week plus take 2 classes a week. This gives me a few hours thursday, friday and saturday to work on this although i may be able to draw out plans randomly here and there. I plan about 400$ a month to buy what i want.
Skimmer-
Like i said, its going to be a diy, gravity fed from a bean animal overflow system and recirculating. Ill test out one or two models before making a final product and if it all fails miserably then reef octopus makes great skimmers.
Lights-
Also diy led's. The canopy will be floating, i plan on having about 70 pointinv straight down and another 50 at an angle with a storm x controller
Tank-
I plan on buying a 75g rimless from glass cages with a low iron front panel
Stand-
Custom made steel stand coated with rust prevention material ill then skin it myself and add sump and accent lighting with floating canopy to match
Overflow-
Bean animal overflow system for the coast to coast overflow, who wouldnt choose this.
Sump-
40b diy sump with around a 2000-3000 gph return pump for specific reasons
Other stuff
Apex gold, you know to run the tank and my life
Dosing system & resivoir
Gyre x150
2x vortech powerheads
Once this is completed a few other projects i need to take care of will be done then the return pump will be multitasked for a frag tank
Ill make another post in the morning
