CountryBoy72's 110G SW Tank Build.

[CountryBoy72]

Thanks for the input on the foam. I Went to HD/Rona an got the pvc cleaner ,glue, An all the fittings to use hard pvc pipe an spaflex pipe. I bought a bunch of gate valves from J&L. Not sure exactly what I will do setup/configuration wise yet. The Eheim pump that I am using as my return pump has the option of using 3/4" or 1" nozzle off the pump. The bulkhead through fitting is 3/4" for my return. Will likely use 3/4" spaflex on that. Anybody got any pictures of there setups ? In a Eshopp RS-300(sump tank) I plan on running a Berlin style sump w/LR(insump), Protein Skimmer, GFO Canister, heaters. Think my plumbing should be minimal.

I have a 180 gallon euro braced tank with a wooden stand sitting on 1" white styrofoam and it's perfectly level and no problems.

But that's with no frame

Should get my tank back in the next few days. Went to Rona/HD an got some plumbing pieces an pvc cleaner and cement. Got my Eheim 1262(my return pump), Gate Valves. My SRO Protein Skimmer will be here shortly.
Will the 1262 Eheim be a big enough return pump ?
Looking at getting a GFO reactor, either a Phosban 550 or Precision Marine. What size pump do you need with a reactor of this size ?

Will 2x Korelia Magnum 5's be enough for my 110G tank ?

What about heaters, how many an what size(watts) ?

900 gph for the eheim should be plenty enough, just make sure ur skimmer will match the return rate. Remember you can always just put a union ball valve to throttle back the output of the pump.

Maxi jet 1200 will do the trick, I like phosban and or vertex reactor due to the twist off top. Easy access means more likely you will service it or change out the media.

That should be fine unless you want to keep sps in your tank. Maybe look around on canreef for some used mp40's.

[color="Red"]200 watt heater should be good. Go eheim jäger. Solid performance.
