neupane's 300 gallon build

[neupane00]

Hey guys, i started my first reef tank about 5-6 years ago. I had that tank for a year and move forced me to shut down and sell it.


Here we are 5 years later. About 3 months ago, i got a new 90 gallon tank. Sounded big, but it got filled quickly.. I am hooked and looking for something more. So i decided to go 300 gallon. I will post pic of my 90 gallons too.

So.. 5 years and 3 months later.. Lets get started.

The tank: 98 x 28 x 26 . Custom built euro braced. Starfire all sides.

Equipments:
Mix of radion G2 and G3 pros. 5 of them.
Vortech 60 and vortech 40
Reef octopus Elite skimmer with DC motor. 9 inches
Calcium reactor
2 Nextreef reactors (phosphate) and carbon (when needed)
Adhi 60 sump
60 gallon acrylic (to sit on top of sump) for quick water changes
bubble magnus doser (when needed)
Tunze ato
Neptune apex gold controller
Heater - undecided.

[Brando457]

I run a 180 with 75 f sump and 40 fuge. 2 x 300 watts maintains it np in my basement. id recommend 3 jager 300 watts connected to an apex or the finex titanoum 500 watters
