i have a 125 gallon 6 ft tank with dual overflow in overflow box using the herbie overflow method. its on a 4 ft high stand .everything overflows into a 29 gallon tank with a bubble trap then large refugium section approx 25 gallons. it then flows out 2 bulkheads into a marineland tide pool 2 with the biowheel removed .return pump needs to b upgraded but its flowing nice around 500-600 gal per hr...overflows can handle much more .so i am looking for a new return pump.the return pump is hooked up to a scwd current director.also i will b running a coralife 125 skimmer in the marineland tidepool 2 sump.
other than that right now i just filled the tank with rodi saltwater and i have some dry ( soon to b) live rock in the main tank. and white aragonite sand. i am trying to speed the cycle a little by putting in a 4-5 inch live sandbed in the refugium section. this sand was previously used in my 75 gal for about a year and a half..i am thinking about adding some live rock to the refugium section as well to itroduce some pods but i think its too soon ...a week before i put my fish and corals in the main 125 i plan on adding most of the live rock from my 75 gal setup (which is all in a holding tank with the fish and corals untill cycled).and also seed the tank with 2000 copepod amphipod mix. because i would like to get a mandarin. anyway pics are soon to come dont have a great camera but ill get em anyway.
i am using a rubbermaid 100 gallon tub with a canister filter, t5's and a heater , to hold all my livestock, coral, and live rock in until the 125 is ready ..again ill post pics of everything...any comments or advice are greatly appreciated thanks
