So, after working my butt off all summer, I decided I deserve a reward... so I'm putting together a new 125 gallon tank. I ordered it from the LFS Friday, and got it this afternoon. I decided on a Perfecto Corner-Flo, pre-drilled with 2 overflows, the matching black pine stand, and the lights. I ended up getting marineland 72" Pro lights, with 3x 150W 14000K HQI, 8x 39W HO T5 actinics, and built-in lunar lights. Boy are those puppies bright! It's so awesome. The tank takes up about 80% of my dining room. :mrgreen:
And before you can ask, here's a picture:
So, my next step is the sump and plumbing. I ordered the largest tank I can get into the stand-- a 30 long-- to use as the sump/refugium. Anyone got suggestions for how to set up the plumbing from the bulkheads in the bottom of the tank to the sump, and then the return lines? is there any neat feature you wish you'd worked into your system? I'm a total newb at plumbing stuff so any recommendations and suggestions are completely welcome.
