Hello, all!!! Im a noob to SW aquariums and I am gathering all my sundries for a new 40B reef tank .....So, this is where I shall post my pics!!! I will be good to have a record of its growth on here. I also have three FW aquariums.....my addiction is accelerating.....
Heres what I have so far:
One 40B Glass aquarium
Awaiting tank stand...... come on UPS!!!!
Toms RP3 wet dry filter/sump with attached protein skimmer with pump and return pump. Its supposed to be for 40-100 gallon system with 700gph output. (also has canister features with the ceramic media, bioball level, and middle level where I can put whatever I want).
Seio pump 1000
Tetra 150 gallon air pump with airstone
Taotronics dimmable 120W LED light fixture (will hang over tank)
I also built a top for my tank from an acrylic sheet and stuck some handles on it, and sealed the screws with 100% silicone.
I am also getting some black sand to put at the bottom (less than one inch), and plan on using perhaps about 25-30 lbs of base rock for aquascaping. May supplement with LFS live rock (havent decided yet)
I havent yet made arrangements for a RODI unit. I would really like to try it without, but everyone here swears by them and I may end up getting one.....
Other than the other little stuff: hydrometer, testing supplies, salt mix etc....... Anything I forgot?
Oh yes... almost forgot..... I made my own top for the tank, and its acrylic...... I have cut holes for the components to sit in, but should I drill some random holes for more gas exchange?
