The time has come for me to change to a new tank; it is going to be 60x27x19 inch rimless tank, going to be full SPS with some Lps and zoas. The wide width will provide the depth for the tank and the height for ease of maintenance. Have been planning the tank for quite some time and finally decided to build it after I have saved up enough money. The focus for the tank will be minimal maintenance and safety.

I have my fair share of using lousy pump which spoil after I turn it off or suck in water instead of blow the water out for wave maker, hence will be going for German brand for most of my equipment within my budget.

I have also get someone to install a circuit breaker for the tank to prevent anything from tripping my tank electricity.

For the tank, I will have sand bed instead of bare bottom, so that it is more natural. =)

The tank will come tml and I will update more picture.

is your breaker seprate from your main breaker ? or tap on to your main breaker ?

cos if your purpose is to prevent any stuff tripping your tank... your tank breaker should be seprate from your main breaker.. which means your house will have 2 breaker.. one for your tank and the other for your house. this way if your house trip, your tank will still have electrity.

if not your house breaker trip, your tank will follow.

Yup from what I was told anything trip from my house will not trip my tank unless the source is outside and affect the main electric coming into my house. The whole thing take around 3 hrs so i think they relay all the wire ba.
