ReefRunner 46g ZeroEdge Build

[reefrunner]

Well,
The time has come, I found a 46g ZeroEdge tank! Since the tank is Miami, I am gonna go to MACNA and then swing by to pick it up..... These are cool tanks, especially to look down on coral.....

I am sure there are pros and cons to owning them....

Pro

JUST PLAIN SICK!
Lots of oxygenation!

Con

Evaporation (Gonna pipe thru wall into garage for 30g ATO)
Glass Cleaning (Gonna let my 3 year old lick it clean!)

Probably gonna get it polished before setting it up.....

I would probably get my nose wet trying to get a better look.

Well, what the guy told me was being level is impt, but the pump has the most to do with it working right.... he was running a mag 24.... I've decided mag 24 will produce too much heat.... just ordered a water blaster 10000, 2600gph

I will say, I will DEF not need powerheads @ 2600gph!

Lol, you will be good on flow with a 2600 gph pump

I am looking forward to seeing the build, load up some pictures once you get the tank picked up.

Saw one for the first time at the BBQ at The Fish Store and thought it was one of the coolest things ever. Can't wait to follow along on your build.

This I would probably agree w right now and ya, gonna make the CB stop for sure! I can pick stuff up if anyone wants some CB

Finally got back and everything is coming along very nicely! I dropped the tank off with (chuc) so he can polish it up and get the fine scratches out.... The sump is custom made by ZeroEdge.... I called ZeroEdge and they recommended a SpeedWave DC 2640 return with variable speed control, So now it's here waiting..... Also had BRS send me a check valve to make sure my house doesn't turn into a tank! Tank should be done this coming week.....
