Formosa Forest II
After almost 2 exiting years it is time for an upgrade. My 90 Gallon Formosa-Forest is becoming too small, and my propagation tank is packed with Acropora colonies instead of frags.
Plan:
Tank: Rimless 63" x 40" x 24" (250 Gallon + 90 Gallon Sump)
Skimmer: SURPRISE
Flow: 2 Tunze nano modded + 2 Tunze 6100 modded. 1000 Gallon Return-Pump (Total 11000 Gallon/hour)
Lighting: 2 ATI SUNPOWER 6x80 watt pendants (12x80 watt T5) All Aqua-Science bulbs.
Other equipment:
* Grotech TEC III Dosing pump with 8 gallon jerrycans for automated 2-part + trace-elements. 3th channel for Amino-Acids, Vodka etc.
* GFO/Carbon reactor
* Maybe Zeovit  (I said maybe  )
The current tank (Formosa-Forest) will be used as a Sump and Propagation tank.
63" x 40" x 24" (250 Gallon) and 90 Gallon Sump + 50 Gallon RO/Saltwater reservoir. All rimless glass.

I hope so, I have the 6100 on 20-30% now, so I think I'll be enough. I will modificate the outlet for more, and wider flow. But you got me thinking, maybe I have to add some more 6100 or 6200...

No pictures yet, the tank will be set up in April. The next months I will purchase all the equipment and the tank, and build the stand.
After I graduate (april 2008) I will begin to put everything together!

Thanks for all the reactions
Crvs, the degree is Bachelor of Business Administration. I'm a realtor within a few months 
But, my passion and interests are somewhere else, so next year I will start at the University of Amsterdam to study Marine Biology. (bachelor/master/Phd)

That'd be the way to do it... first degree you make money with, the second you can enjoy life with! I almost considered doing the same thing with the second degree, but then quickly remembered that I didnt like school. Good luck!
