Did this about 15 years ago when T5 lighting was just starting to get big (couldn't afford MH). So a lot of the stuff these days is new to me. Bought a used Aqueon mega flow 125G tank with stand and canopy (not planning on using the canopy. Came with a sump I might try to modify with additional chamber for chaeto. So far bought the following:
Plumbing, including new bulkheads
Found a used Aquatic Life 61" hybrid light fixture on CL - selling the AI primes that were on it and ordered some Reefi Duo Extremes to replace them.
Have two 250W ebo jager heaters
Two ecotech vectra S1 pumps for return/manifold
Used Reef Octopus 200int skimmer
Possibilities to add when needed are GFO/Carbon reactor, dosing pumps, controller (reef-pi), Nero 5 powerheads
Plan on setting up four 40 breeders as quarantine for fish/coral. Current plan for rock is to do about 75% marco dry and 25% live from Tampa Bay. Coral will be LPS/SPS
Would love to hear suggestions - I'm between Dayton and Cincinnati so any recommendations on fish/coral retailers would also be appreciated.
