Hi
Hope you all are having good luck with your tanks.
Well I've be on and off with this Hobbie for about 15 yrs or so.
And I decided to return and retry my hand in this again.
and in doing so came across The Reef2Reef forums.
PS I live in South Florida Broward county.
I read some posts and decided that this site is the most user friendly
and joined this group.
Ok here is my setup ( As IN Being Built as we speak)
On Hand...
75 Gal tank and stand Marineland Black (Good Christmas sale).
HOB Bubble Magus 1800 g/h overflow.
Chiller 1/4 Hp. 3yrs old never used I bought it new. ( better work lol).
I Properly have 50-60 lbs or so of "Dead" rock being sterilized.
Yes I said Sterilized, as follows:
30 gal trash can tupperware with led
that has. 2.5 gals. of pool chlorine and 28 gallons of tap water
small powerhead for water movement. 24/7 3wks in.
Didn't want to do an acid bath and, figured it like this.
Bleach is a weak form of chlorine, chlorine is a weak of acid so use chlorine Stupid.
Current Loop System:

FYI the system/parts was bought at different times but its all brand new.
Ok the lights might have a yr on them at the most, powerheads 2 yrs maybe.
48-60 inch LED lights x2 (say's it's got ok par we'll see) Have a 3rd 1 if I need it for more PAR.
3 big DC Current Power heads upto 1200 g/h each. or is it 600g/h per head and I got 2 with a 3rd 1 if needed I forget.
Return pump Current DC upto 2100 g/h (flow a little overkill again)
So water movement is definitely not a problem.
SUMP:
20 gal long tank (good sale petsmart 1 dollar a gal).
Bubble Magus Curve 5 Protein skimmer. rated up to a 150 gal tank size I think.
Triton Refugium Kit I got off Ebay for around $100.00 that I'm modding a little at the moment.
Needs more walls for a bubble trap and a refugium,
and Yes silicone for fish tanks will hold acrylic baffles in place if done correctly. I can pick up mine by the sock room in the sump.
Hope you all are having good luck with your tanks.
