OK so I am upgrading my current Solana 34g. cube to a larger setup with a sump that I was missing with the Solana. I thought that I would document the progress and get suggestions and or comments along the way.
I have purchased all of the new equipment from Kevin at Red Coral here in Calgary who has been a great help.
I plan on keeping a mixed reef with fish in the new new tank. I will likely be selling off all or most of the old equipment and starting with all new gear. I will also be moving all of the LR, fish, corals, and such from the old tank to the new.
Here is a pic of the current setup.
Solana 34 gal. cube tank, Tunze nano wavebox, Tunze 9002 skimmer, tunze aquawind fan, koralia 2 PH, 2 - 1 watt LED moon lights, 150w 14k MH disco ball light.
Here is a pic of the new tank. 36"x36"x27" - 150 gal. Corner overflow.
Sump - 30"x24"x20"
Plumbing supplies
Return Pump - DART
Light - Current USA 36" Sunpod HQI 2x250w MH 14k 18 LEDs
So the next step for me will be to get a stand built this coming weekend and then tackle the plumbing. I think this project will likely take me a few weeks to get the water in. I will be looking for about 100lbs of LR later on if anyone is going to be selling some off.
Cheers
Lawrence
