New 237 gallon tank

[Jjat80]

I present to you my new project, a 238 gallon tank (74x29x25 inches) for mixed reef, at the moment I only have aquascaping prepared, and the equipment purchased, my equipment includes two orphek atlantik icon, nyos quantum 300 skimmer, two vortech mp60, abyzz a400 ascent pump.

Gonna be a nice aetup, though I think the A400 is going to be overkill.

That was my thought as well, but if he’s got it then he might as well use it. He could run it at like 15%.

custom tank? which tank you are going with? (or tank builder)?

Good work.

the sump goes in the basement of the house (the basement is 13 feet meters high) so I needed a pump that at 18 feet high would give me a flow of about 2300-2400 gallons per hour

it is a tank made by a family member who used to make aquariums

Similar size to mine, can't wait to see the Orphek lights. For pumps, I am running 4 x MP40 and 1 x MP60. I started with an Octo skimmer, moved to the Nyos 160 and ended up switching that to the 220 which works very well. Looking forward to updates.

Ak, ok - that makes sense now. Very nice pump!
