@ckyuv Hey! You have been responding a bit on my new build thread with the same tank. I just found this thread. Would you be open to me texting you about taking a look at your tank? I have mine up and running now, but I have a few questions on the overflow and the MP40 I think you may be able to help me with.

I really appreciate all of you guys helping me out! Im getting closer to getting this tank going. Im in the process of figuring out what I need for flow. Everything I have read is saying I need a wave maker. I’ve never had one before. Would the echotech mp40 be enough flow for the entire tank? Would I need multiple wave makers? Or a wave maker and a power head? I have only ever used power heads so I’m clueless on the wave makers. I will have a sand bed if that makes a difference. @Timfish @Grog @ckyuv

I have since decided to go with the reefer xl gt 300 65 gallon with ap9x lights. I wanted more room to aquascape. In terms of cleanup crew. I plan to stock with these: 15 blue leg hermits 2 cleaner shrimp 10 cerith 10 astrea 10 nassarius @Timfish@ckyuv@Grog Do you guys have any other suggestions for the cleanup crew? Too much? Not enough?

If the ap9x covers your 40 breeder, I would think it should have sufficient coverage for my 42 cube. Do you guys have any recommendations on controllers?

I guess those terms are too general in their meaning. I’ll be better!! You have to remember I have been out of the hobby for 10 years! I would like to eventually have some more difficult acros is what I was trying to say. Thank you again for the reply.

Thank you for the quick response!! I need to dig into those links soon!

After consulting with my wife for aesthetics, she has ALLOWED me to choose the “Reefer XL 200 G2+ System (42 Gal). I know I would probably eventually need a dosing system, but other than that, do you guys think this system is setup well enough for lps and sps? (Sump, skimmer,etc) @Timfish If I eventually want to house some Sps in this tank. Which lights would you suggest? The dimensions are 24"L x 21"H x 22.6"W. I’ve been looking for a good guide but I haven’t been able to find much. Any help is appreciated!

Hey Guys, I have been out of the hobby for about 7 years now. So I know the technology has advanced quite a bit. What place better than arc to get back into it. I would love some opinions on lights, sumps, tanks, etc. I would like a tank under 50 gallons. I would like to eventually house some small Lps colonies and a few sps. If you guys could build a tank, what would you buy if money wasn’t a concern? I appreciate any help I can get!
