I can tell you that Reef Savvy makes beautiful tanks but be prepared to wait, I ordered mine in December and it should be here sometime in the next few weeks (hopefully). Felix is a pleasure to work with though.

As far as the lighting, what type of corals you looking to keep in this?

drhurtado · 04/06/2011, 02:33 PM

Mixed Sps, lps, tangs, clams

d3hree · 04/06/2011, 04:22 PM

I would suggest that the chiller circulation is done via your return pump ( not mentioned in your list above) and you keep the CL with OM seperate on your Reeflo pump.
Looking forward to seeing your designs.

looks like a fun build

geaux xman · 08/17/2011, 12:54 AM

you might find the sump a little small being only 3ft long after adding the skimmer and return pump.

everything looks great though... cant wait to see how the tank looks in that setting.
