Hello all,
I’m a newbie here and looking from some help. I’m wanting to build a 90 gallon reef tank and looking for some advice here. I have looked at many pages and starting to see circles. Lol I’m wanting to start off with the basics FOWLR and move to a reef tank. The equipment I have gathered so far is listed below. The biggest issue I’m having right now is the sump for the tank. I will be using “Jimmy's 90 Gallon Build DIY & Pic Intensive “ to build the stand this weekend. I have made a few changes to help fit the sump this will give me roughly 41” x 12.5” x28”. I will have space for a 40g breeder as a sump but this will leave me no room for other equipment. I would like to have my ATO water jug in the cabinet too with a couple reactors. If I go with a 29/30 gallon sump could someone give me a good sump design with baffle measurements?
Thanks Mike
Equipment I’m starting off with:
- Deep blue 90 Gallon Reef-Ready Aquarium
- Coral life 125 skimmer ( will upgrade to Reef Octopus Classic 150INT or bigger)
- 30lb of rock ( will get more)
- Aquatic Life 48 Inch 4x54 Watt T5 HO Light Fixture w/ 4 Lunar LEDs ( will upgrade later)
Equipment I need to order:
- Eheim 1262 | Mag 18 | mag 24 ( which would be better)
- Jerboa wave makers (still in debate)
- Cobalt 200w heater x2
- Reef keeper Elite controller
