Hello Guys! So i am planning on building a reef tank in mid august (hopefully).
I talked to my LFS about it, they would build it and help me ofc.
BUT I wanted to use the power if this forum and get help with my idea and get some tips from other experienced reefers.
The Idea is a Drop Off Tank, measurements would be 120 to 150 cm lenght, 60 deep and 150 hight, if its to the complete System measurements.
I am struggleing with few things at the moment.
Where should i place my skimmer?
Should I make it Penisula like? So no black walls or only the skimmer in a corner in the back? or should i just do the back wall black?
Option A
Option B
HOW to do flow? I was thinking about two Gyre/red sea reefwaves? But what to do with the ugly cable? Or should i drill holes in the bottom at the drop off and feed the water from the sump into there?
They gave me two options for the seals(how the glass is glued together) in the reef tank, black or transparent?
SO i goofed arround a bit and did a quick sketch, please give me you ideas on what to do and what not.
The Idea would be to place it next to the corner, that the kitchen side of the living room looks to the Drop off, right side to the tank will be TV.
Here are some measurements. Total Volume should be arround 450DP+100-200 in sump
So guys please give me your opinions.
Have a nice Sunday guys, would be super cool of you guys can help me out a bit!
greets from Austria!
