I am finally in the plumbing stage so will be posting a spec soon to get some opinions. The 180 will be visible from all sides with 2 overflows built in the center of the tank.
I've been planning and researching for 4 months. So excited to finally have it coming together!
Set Up Date : In progress
Tank Size (LxHxW | Volume): 72 x 24 x 24 | 180 Gallon Sea Clear
Sump Size (LxHxW | Volume): 36 x 16 x 15 | 37 Gallons
Live Rock (Mass): Planning 200-250 Lbs
Live Sand (Mass): Coming Soon
Lighting (Type | Wattage | Photoperiod): 2 110 VHO Actinic | 1-175w MH 10,000k | 2-250w MH 10,000k
Protein Skimmer (Brand | Model): AquaC | EV 150
Biological Filtration (Type): Planning LR
Chemical Filtration (Type): Coming soon
Circulation (Rate | Brand | Model): Coming Soon
Return Pump (Rate | Brand | Model): 1140 GPH (About 600 with height) | 3 Rainbow Lifegard Quiet One
pH (Morning | Evening):
Temperature (Range | oC | oF):
Specific Gravity / Salintity (g/g | ppt):
Alkalinity (meq/l | dKH):
Calcium (ppm):
Ammonia (ppm):
Nitrite (ppm):
Nitrate (ppm):
Phosphate (ppm):
Fish : Coming soon
Corals : Coming soon
Invertebrates : Coming soon
Maintenance Program :
Additional Information (include estimated total system cost if known): $1600 so far. I have really shopped around for the best deals. I got the Hamilton Technology lighting system used with 1 new MH and 2 new VHO's for $350 and the 180 tank brand new for $389. We built the base and it would probably support the whole darned house with the tank!
Can't wait to start posting photos of the progress!
