Hello All, This will be my first post here - moved to Indy from NJ last month and finally have some time to start a journal of my tank build. Any input is encouraged and local information (good places for live rock, SPS, etc.) also welcome. I'll pay my dues and become a member when I get home from work - for now you'll have to settle for the specs. I'll update the next chance I get. Synopsis: The system will be 2 tanks connected to a common 10 gallon sump. The first tank is a 22G Mr.Aqua Rimless (36x12x12) and the second is a JBJ 30G (24x18x19). The 22G will be a dedicated SPS tank with a bare bottom and the 30G will serve as the softie tank with some macro-algae, perhaps an anemone later on. The 10 gallon sump will also be a refugium since the skimmer is a HOB. The system is controlled by the Neptune Apex controller. Equipment: 22G: - MAME Overflow - Mr.Aqua 22G Rimless Aquarium (36x12x12) - 2x OceanRevive S026 LED Lights - MaxiJet 900 Return - Vortech MP40 on Reef Crest Mode - AquaMaxx HOB-1 Skimmer w/ Bubble Reducer (skimmer for both systems) - 3x 50W ViaAqua Heaters - BeamWorks 20" Refugium Light 30G: - JBJ 30G AIO Aquarium (24x18x19) - The back chambers will be a refugium entirely. - OceanRevive S026 LED Light - Stock Pumps for flow (~500gph) - 3" Sand Bed - MAME Overflow - MaxiJet 1200 Return Pics: Anyone know the best place for live rock? I'm likely going to go with Premium Aquatics as I've already got 25lbs. of very good base rock from MarcoRocks yesterday.
