Seymour Duncan 75g build

[SeymourDuncan]

Alrighty then! I just got my stand and I have begun the planning stages. My tank is bare. 2 holes and no overflow.

My first plan is where I want to even put the tank which will be up to my woman.

2nd plan is the overflow. Do I want a coast to coast or 2 corners? I can't find someone anywhere near who will drill a 3rd hole so a bean animal is not an option :/

I have 400w of metal halide to use that is 6500k. So I will be adding some actinic supplements because it is very yellow.

The return pump will be at least 900 gph and plumbed to a Carlson surge device if the area permits. Otherwise it's a simple wave maker.

This tank will be mainly sps as the halide is a beast.

I'm going to do as many small fish as I can humanely fit into the tank and filtration will be a DIY skimmer with the possibility if some reactors if I feel necessary. ATO will be a must and I will probably dose kalk manually to prevent pickling

Right now I have the light, the tank, the return pump, and time.

The overflow will be the only part holding me back form starting this ASAP so I better get a move on!

Here's what I'm working with.

There is one hole in either corner if the back walk. I have no overflow box yet.

I don't know if I want 1 coast to coast or 2 corner boxes. I'm not sure how to go about either way yet

Ok so I got a sump but then someone offered me a 90 gallon aquarium for it. Of course I agreed.

I plan in taking the 90 and building some type of all in one type of wall in it for an algae scrubber and tht will go on the bottom shelf of the stand under the 75. The 2 tanks will either be reverse cycle acting as each others moon lighting or it will be 2 separate environments. Like reef then deep water. Or even 2 separate reefs.

I saw a pretty cool volcano island tank once I might even do up on the top one with a big halide (or led) like a sun. Only issue is the frame has a beam in the middle.
