help planning my new set-up.
help planning my new set-up.
okay guys would like to hear what you think of my proposed set-up. Okay the tank is 7 x 2.5 wide by 2 high, so holds about 200 gallons. the tank will be supported on a steel frame. and will be a sps dominated tank. This is what i was thinking of the lighting: ![]() with the blue actincs done by the deltec power twin t5 units of 2x39 watts, so will have 4 of these. http://www.deltecaquariumsolutions.com/lighting.php and then the main lighting will be the stm compact 250 watt units: http://www.stm-shop.co.uk/acatalog/STM_Lighting_.html and have the three yellows as 14k de arcadia bulbs, with the red one as de 10k bulbs, with the 10ks only on for 6 hours a day. In the tank i will have two eheim 1260's for closed loops and 2 tunze streams 6000 and 2 6100's controlled with the multicontroller. I will have a weir with two durso style piping connected to the sump with 1 1/2" piping. the sump area will be around 1.5m below the tank, and is in a lean to behind the garage. I hope to have a large plastic bucket that holds around 200 gal which i will fill with dead live rock from http://www.clams.co.uk/erol.html#1x0&& the sump area will look like this: with above the sump i will have a frame which will have the skimmers , two deltec apf 600, a deltec rowa reactor, the deltec pf509 calcium reactor. http://www.deltecaquariumsolutions.com/home.php with a bucket of ro/di water which has a tunze osmolator connect for the evaporation. the sump will be my current tank which is 100 gal. The frag tank will be 40" x 20 wide by 18 high and have a pump running it so have 30x turnover and be lit by my current arcadia series 3 250 watt metal halide with a 14k bulb. below this i will have a small area for macro algae. the heating will be done with heaters controller by a contoller, and fans above the tank and sump area will also be controlled by controllers. the return from the sump is a deltec hlp4040. any ideas please let me know, andrew Last edited by Pomme; 05-11-2004 at 11:45 AM. |

plan has slightly changed, in that the equipment and sump will be in the cabinet under the sump. I will have three tanks connected to each other. In the main tank the weir will be 6 foot long and go at the back ofthe tank, so this will be able to incorporate the new tunze wavemaker. It will have two dursos, one will go down to a tank which will have two deltec apf 600 skimmers, and the heaters. Which will overflow into a smaller tank which will have three eheim 1260 returns. The other durso flows into another tank which will be a caulerpa bed, from thsi tank overflows into the return tank.
