Just starting 75g frag tank

[Reefifier]

Starting to set up a new frag tank. Ordered a 75 gallon 60"x24"x10" acrylic tank from Advanced Acrylics to plumb into existing frag system. I've got a 20 long and 40 breeder connected to a common sump. I will connect this into the same sump so I can control all the tanks with one set of apex, dosers, UV, liverock, skimmer and reactors/filters. I am building a simple stand from 2x4s and plywood.

Tank and sump scheduled to arrive on the 20th.
I will build a stand after it arrives, to fit both the 60x24 frag tank and 40x18 sump underneath, using 2x4s and plywood for suport. Then run pvc pipes from all other tanks ( 20 long used for mushrooms, 40 breeder used for lps and maybe another 75 with anemones and fish) to the new sump. If I get everything connected it would give me about 200 gallons in 4 tanks with an additional 30-40 gallons in the sump. This lets me use my current ATO, dosers (Red Sea) and Apex/trident.

Other equipment, some of which I will be moving to the new system:
2x Simplicity skimmer DC240
2x Bubble Magus Filter Roll, Medium Gen. 2
2x 36w UV lights
return pumps- Current and Hygger, I have some backups as well.


Lighting:
I was exploring lights for the 60x24, I have Reefbreeder's Photon V2 pros on most of the tanks, but they are coming out with a new version later this year, Meridean. I may just throw in a couple VIPARSPECTRA and a NooPsyche K7 PRO III (already have it) until I can order those new lights when they come out.

Can anyone comment about the Vivarspectras? This will be primarily a sps tank. I have more experience with Reefbreeders growing sps, but I have a friend who swears by his Vivarspectras. Money saving option for now.

I am really looking forward to seeing this. Please don’t skip over anything!

Tank and sump finally arrived.

Building a stand.

And got the tank into place. Left enough space behind so I can access the plumbing.

Working on plumbing now.

Nice! I got one from them as well with black bottom and back with all the edges polished.
Still waiting for it. Mine's 36x24x12"h. Looks pretty sturdy!
