I am currently strongly thinking about replacing my 29 gallon with a 24" x 24" x 16" cube. Here is the current thread on my 29 gallon tank.... 29 Gallon (http://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=754680)
I am going to run an open top with no euro bracing. I am going to run a sump/refugium and am going to have a closed loop. The tank is going to be viewable from 3 sides (all sides except back which will be black acrylic.
I am waning to aquascape 3 islands if possible. I am trying to get ideas on my aquascaping.
This tank is going to house LPS, zoos and 5 or 6 SPS, but the main focus will be LPS. I am currently trying to figure out how to design the overflow and cl system.
My return pump will be a Mag 3. I am not wanting to do a huge flow in the tank. I am considering using a Mag 9.5 as the cl pump. What do you all think about that? Is there another pump you would recommend? Is that going to be enough flow or too much?
I would like to run a SCWD on the cl so that will reduce flow some. Also, should the intake for the cl pump be in the back and the returns in the bottom
I have a ton of questions, but will start with these about the cl.
Thanks a million and I really appreciate everyones opinons. If I am going to have a custom tank made I really want it to be as close to perfect as can be!
