230 in wall build
Ok, this should be interesting... I've kept several freshwater tanks for years, but this is my first attempt at salt water. I hope to have everything up and running by July.
Everyone I talked to about this said to go with the largest set up that I could, so the plan is for a 230 gallon tank (72x24x30), in wall in the basement with a 17 x 6 fish room behind it.
Progress
-Currently, I have the wall framed and the tank sitting in the wall. I have it plumbed to a 50 gallon sump.
-I recently purcased a 72" Solaris G4, and have set that up.
-Last night I hooked up my RODI unit and broke one of the fittings off in the unit, so that will put me slightly behind schedual.
Things that I still need to do/get:
1. Fix RODI
2. Add baffels to sump
4. Electrical set up of fish room (I think I will need to hire a pro for this)
5. Set up ATO
6. Skimmer/heaters purchase and set up
7. Saltwater mixing station setup
8. Buy powerheads and setup
9. Aquascape
10. Stock
Will have pics up soon, thanks for looking. Any advise would be great! Am I forgeting anything?
