Hi everyone,I am a sorta new reefer, about 1 year and some change in this realm. I am doing a custom cabinet and aqueon/marineland 75 gallon reef ready tank build.
The goals for this tank are to run it for a year or two years while I wait to see if I have to move for work or not. If I do not have to move, then I will upgrade to something bigger like a 5 or 6 foot tank. The stand and canopy is being build currently and I am ordering / picking up the tank towards the end of this week.
Equipment I plan on buying -
Lighting
2 x Orphek OR4 blue plus
1 x Orphek OR4 blue sky
Sump -
custom aqueon 20 gallon long with Fiji cube sump baffle kit
Filtration
Reef Matt 500
Bubble king curve 5 protein skimmer
Ice cap bio bricks
Filterfloss
Pumps / Flow
2 x AI Nero 3
Return pump - undecided / need suggestion
ATO duetto 2 system or tunze osmiolator 3
Automation
Apex 3 with trident or aquawiz KH and PH auto tester
Salt
Tropic marine pro salt mix
Questions for the Community-
So How do you hard plumb your system and what are the necessities when it comes to plumbing a system?
Is there anything I missed on here that you would recommend ?
Is there a straight forward way to mounting the orphek light bars to the top of the canopy ?
Can you 3 d print the baffles for a aqueon 20 gallon long ?
Any pictures of your personal custom tanks / sumps will be appreciated!
