Hi everyone...

I'm about to embark on a new aquarium build. I ordered a Deep Sea Aquatics 190 Pro tank and stand. The Tank measures 60.5" x 27.5" x 27.5", center overflow, the stand is cherry and will be in my home office.

Still waiting on the tank and stand to arrive (hopefully in the next couple weeks) I ordered it in July.

Some of the equipment I'll be using on this build is as follows...

- LifeReef VS3-48 Skimmer (It's 4 Feet tall :D )
- ATI PowerModule T5 60" (8 x 80 Watts)
- (2) 1" SeaSwirls for the returns
- (2) Tunze Turbelle 6105
- GEO618 Calcium Reactor
- Apex Controller (with 2 x pH and Cond Probe)
- (2) 40W UV Sterilizers ( I know, this might be overkill )
- Skimz Media reactor for Carbon and Phosguard ( Im not a fan of GFO )
- (2) 300W Jager heaters (For redundancy)

On Order, but not quite shipping yet :eek1:
- EcoTech DC Pump for the return
- Custom LifeReef LF300 (Due December timeframe)

Future Add
- Use one of my old systems as a display refugium ( I have a 57 Rimless and 93 Cube i might use... I keep going back and forth on which one to incorporate in to this build) :facepalm:


My plan for this aquarium is a mixed reef with natural "old skool" <-- yes I meant to spell it that way :wave: ... methodology (no Zeovit, Bio Pellets, etc..) to be mostly SPS with LPS and a few softies.

As soon as the new tank comes in, I will post some pictures as this tank becomes a reality. I'm looking forward to sharing my progress on this build with the Reef Central Community.
