Yup “downsized” I had a 300-gallon mixed reef about 5 years until Hurricane Irma did me in. My tank would not survive, I couldn’t recover and I could afford to start from scratch. Been out for 2 years, but enough of these woes and on to the good stuff.
I am excited to come back but I am starting a 120 gallon. I will need advice and help along the way so don’t be shy.
Here is a list of equipment that I plan on using.
Aqueon 120 - Used I got off of offer up for $50. It needs a major rehab but it will work
Ice Cap 30 sump (built in ATO) - NEW
CUSTOM ATO Container 6x20x20 (10gal) – This will be for my auto water changer
Reef Octopus 150 sss - Old one I had laying around (I upgraded the pump to the new varios)
BRS GFO Reactor - NEW
Aqueon 300-watt heater Old one I had laying around
Jebao DCQ 900-2600 GPH DC Return Pump - NEW
Maxspect Gyre XF250 w/icecap controller – I took this one off my 300 gallon
Neptune Apex- New controller - older power bars
Neptune Dos - for automatic water changer - NEW
Neptune FMM Fluid Monitoring Module - NEW
Neptune OS-1 Optical Level Sensor V2 (2) - NEW
RedSea ReefLed 90 watt (3) – NEW I liked the reviews on this light.
DIY Stand and Hood (automated) – Started this build over the weekend. I have pictures at home. I’ll upload later.
Anything I should be considering as far as equipment? Any recommendations?
