So I have had a BC29 for a little over a year now and have had the itch to upgrade for a couple months now (this is so addicting!) I finally got the ok from the wife because she wants more fish anyway and we are currently fully stocked with what we have. The upgrade won’t be for about another month, so I’ve been stalking the forums here and online trying to gather as much as I can to ensure a good and trouble free upgrade. I will post my plans for equipment and such below. I want to try to keep a tight budget with this upgrade but with all the researching that’s almost next to impossible!
Please feel free to comment with your thoughts and suggestions!
Equipment:
75 gallon Reef Ready tank (glass tops or mesh?) with stand and plumbing kit.
Eshopps R-100 sump – TO FUGE OR NOT TO FUGE?
Debating on a Eshopps PSK-100 Skimmer or Reef Octopus 4" NWB-110
A Lifeguard Aquatics return pump – I want to try to keep this setup as quiet as possible as this will be setup in my living room
I need your suggestions on a ATO? I want to try to stay away from float switches
I currently have 1 Kessil A150w and I’m planning on getting another. Do you think that this will be sufficient based on the fact that I have a LPS dominate tank with a few softies and SPS like Montipora’s
I will be transferring my LR and purchasing more LR. Hopefully when I’m ready, I can get off one of the fine members here on CR! As far as sand goes. I plan on getting some dry aragonite sand and seeding it with a few cups of my current sand.
