Hi guys

Finally made up my mind... gonna be a custom-built tank... nothing grand just a small tank sufficient to keep me busy during working hours :lol:

Most probably will go with FOWLR setup and Pygmy Seahorses in refugium...

Tank specifications (most probably):

Aquarium

• 2.5' by 2' by 2' (approx. 70 US Gallons) with sump 26" by 18" by 20" (approx. 25 US Gallons)

• 8mm thick glass with black silicone - main tank

• 6mm thick glass - sump

• Overflow box with pre-filtration / pipework for silent operation

Cabinet

• Wooden construction with laminate finish - still deciding on colour scheme

• Sliding acrylic door - to allow 100% see thru

• Ventilation louvres/holes

• Built-in lighting - most probably PL or fluorescent tube

• Integrated power bars - at least 6 sockets

Sump

• Glass sump with dividers according to equipment needs

• Large refugium with dedicated lighting

• Live Aragonite

Return Pump

• To be confirmed

Equipment Options

• Tunze Reefpack 500 (backup Skimmer, Mechanical Filter and Top-up System) - 7 US Gallons Freshwater container to be placed outside the cabinet

• Needlewheel Skimmer - to be confirmed

• 2 FR (activated carbon & phosphate remover) T-off from skimmer outlet - pump to be confirmed

Lighting

• Still deciding - most probably T5... ATI rocks!!!

• Aqua Medic Light Computer

What you guys think? This is my first proper setup (with sump) and hopefully the design is simple enough so that I don't have to invest too much on this tank...

Appreciate comments from you guys :bow:

Yoz bro, interested to buy a set of Hydor FLO Rotating Water Deflector for your office tank. It produces an excellent water wave effect.

Hurry while stocks last.

Thanks for the offer bro... I will be using Tunzes for wavemaking :)
