So, I just purchased an Innovative Marine 100 ext with white stand. I’m not going to be setting up till after the holidays and after I get some painting done. I presently have a 75 int tank with 29 gallon diy sump. I’ve taken advantage of the Black Friday deals and I’ve gotten some bargains.
so, for the build I have,
Tank
Stand
3 radion xr15 gen5 with two Xho reefbrites.
Aquamaxx q2 cone s
Aqua ultraviolet 25 watt uv sterilizer
I’ve been looking at the trigger 34 sump. Not too sure about it though. I did purchase a 40 gallon Aqueon intending to do diy, but it is so big. I want a little space under the stand.
All in all, I pretty much have an idea about most, but I was hoping for opinions. I’m not a newbie, but I do not know everything.
I would like to know the best way to transfer. It will only be 25-30 gallons more. Last time I cycled the new tank with new sand and transferred everything over minus the sand. I really hate to have two tanks in my living room for a few weeks. Last time they were in different spots. This time I will be replacing the one. Any thoughts would help. Plus,
Can I use the 29 gallon sump?
If not, can I have some reviews on the trigger 34 sump? Pros and cons as well.
Can I see some pictures also of plumbing including uv?
Thank you so much ahead of time. I will also be posting updates to this thread as I go along.
