Its official
I'm going bigger.
I went a head and ordered a new AGA reef ready 125 yesterday.Working it off at the LFS,so I get it at cost. Now here are my plans for the new tank.: It will be an all SPS system.Not a softie or leather one is going in it. Projected fish are 1x Atlantic Blue tang,1x either powder blue or powder brown tang,and 1 or 2 small wrasses. Filtration will be done by a custom built sump system with seperate refugium.Skimmer and pumps will be external plumbed.There will also be a phosphate reactor and calcium reactor built into the sump.Skimmer will probably be an Octopus.Cant remember the model,but its right at 24" tall.Also planing on a panworld return pump.Flow inside the tank will be provided by Tunze Turbelle 6201 pumps set up with the wave controller.Yeah,I want as close to tidal currents as I can get. Thinking that I'll try Aquatinics Constallation for lights.Or might even give halides a try. Let me know if I missed anything.

Re: Its official
 Thats friggin' AWESOME Yote!! I can't wait to see it. PLEASE do a build thread on it. I read a LOT in that forum but never post. I'd be VERY interested in seeing how you put this together. I have a 90g tank that might get set up in the next year, so I'll be watching yours closely.

Re: Its official
Thanks y'all.
You know I'll have a build thread on when I actually get to start it. I'll have the tank in 3 or 4 weeks.But were getting ready to go back on 80+ hours a week at work,so its going to be a slow build.I dont plan on getting the sump untill tax time. But shooting to have water in it by april anyway.

Re: Its official
Yote are you contemplating a closed loop? For the price of those Tunzes you could put in a nice Hammerhead or similar closed loop pump with a wavemaker. If you dont want to do the CL what about the new Polario powerhead? 150 bucks cheaper for the same flow(bi-directional) and comes with a controller? Just throwing some ideas out there.
