Planning Stages of a 600g setup
 

So I am still in the planning phases of the new setup but I thought I would see what some of the RC members think about my current plans

Tanks:
300g SPS display/prop 48"x60"x24"
180g LPS, Zoo, Ric, Softy display/prop 40"x60"x18"
120g Sump

The 180 will be directly below the 300. The overflows from the 300 will flow directly into the 180 (think of how bunk beds are stacked on each other). The 180 overflows will then flow into the sump. The sump will be kiddie corner from the display/prop tanks.

Lighting:
3 250w 10K Ushios w/ Luminarc III reflectors over the 300g
2 48” Aquatinic Solar Flares will also be over the 300g for actinic supplementation. These light fixtures will be hung on an angle on the sides of the Luminarcs.

1 48” 8 Bulb Sunlight Supply T5 fixture will go over the 180 LPS
4 1watt Moon lights over 180. The Solar Flares already have them built in.

Filtration:
Reeflo Orca 250
200mg Ozone
Activated Carbon
Filter Pads

Water Movement
1 Wave Box with a TUNZE 6100 Stream in the 300
1 Wave Box in the 180

Equipment:
8x18 GEO Ca Reactor
GEO Kalk Reactor
Aquamedic quad doser
Sequence Hammerhead Return Pump
Reefkeeper Elite or Neptune III Controller
Won Brothers 1000w Heater
SpectraPure RO/DI

Fuge:
There will be two refugiums in the setup. One will be in the sump, while the other will be in the 180 where the water flows in from the 300.

Other:
500 lbs of live rock
3” sand bed in both tanks

Livestock:
The best of the best

60" in width?? gotta see some pics.

Oh yes, there will be pics. There will be pics indeed. The equipment will be purchased in March or April. Have to time it around the bonus.

The tanks will most likely be ordered in April. There is a LFS here in Madison that has incredible prices. Not as cheap as Glass Cages, but they will handle all aspects of the transaction.

Also, the tank is 60" deep and 48" wide. Sorry for the confusion. Its the largest tank I could get for the space.
