Nice Stand!!! Looks like all the necessary equip. is there except a fuge light. Do you have your test kits? If not make sure you get ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,ph to start with. I personally prefer salifert test kits. Hope that helps.
Enjoy your new tank!!! |

In a manner of speaking I made the stand. Not finished yet, need to get the glass for the front; it will have glass on the sides than glass shelves. The doors will take more time, as they will be louvered with fans built in. I’m working on the plumping today.

Like the plan. I have a similar set up that I am planning (3-side view, overflow on one-end). Probably 3-weeks out from starting. If I can figure out how, I will subscribe to your thread. How many holes in the tank bottom and overflow box? Also, what is the WXL of the tank?

The tank is W-18 H-24 L-48. The overflow is a Megaflow, had to special order the tank to get the overflow on the end vs. the back, took about 3 long weeks to show up. It has two holes in the bottom. Now I’m just watching water slowly filling up the tank. I think paint dries faster.

Looks great... you may want a bit more wattage for heaters though. Keep the 2 100's for back ups but you might want something along the lines of one 250 or 300 watt as the main heater for a 100+ system. IMO

auto-top off and a dual stage temp control would be my next two items...after some wave-making device.

I was thinking the lighter load on the heaters, because of the MH lighting, but one of the 100’s would work nice for the change-out water. I’ll pick up a 250 watt.

You forgot the almighty TURKEY BASTER!
Light for fuge? (or are you really gonna make some fudge? ) Fan(s)? Phosban (GFO) reactor? thermometer? algae cleaner? you probably have some of that but not listed since it's mostly the incidental stuff. quarantine tank? gonna dose Kalk? or need a Ca reactor?? |

Fudge is good nice catch. I have the all-mighty turkey baster “had to make a special trip to the store and wonder around aimlusly for what seamed like hours!!” I have a few fans, still figuring on how to work them in with the door designs. The other stuff is lined and ready to go almost.
Good point about the heaters, I’ll stick with them Tomorrow afternoon the live rock will be showing up Mike |
