Mr. Paranoid
Well I ordered my tank today.... I decided to pay the extra for Starphire glass option but decided I didn't need to spend another $200 on Eurobracing as I would never see it anyways.... (I plan on having a wooden canopy)
It is 5'x18.5"x26" Custom Starphire Miracles Tank. :bounce::bounce:
The tank will have dual factory overflows (not corner)
The stand/canopy is being custom made for me as well....
Other gear I have purchased so far....
Lights
2 - IceCap 250 MH ballasts
2 - Spider Reflectors
XM - 10K Bulbs
1 - IceCap 660 Ballast
3 - VHO hardware
3 - Super Atinic Bulbs
Powerheads
2 - Vortech MP40W's
Heaters
2 - Fluval E-200 Digital Heaters
Skimmer
TBD - but I am leaning towards the Vertex IN-250
Reactors
TBD - leaning towards either BRS Dual GFO/Carbon or a the SWC Reactor (I want to run Zeovit rocks in one, and carbon in another)
Return Pump
Eheim 1262
Tunze ATO Unit
6 stage RODI unit
Controller
TBD - Currently trying to decide between a) none b) used profilux 2 Ex Plus, or c) Neptune Apex or put this extra $$ into a better skimmer (bubble king 200)
Custom Sump
Details to be worked out....
Please offer thoughts on any of the TBD items :)
All this good news....you know there is bad news.... The tank is going to tank 6-8 weeks before its ready.
