Equipment list for 300g Build

Rate this Entry
This entry will discuss equipment that I pan on using for my 300g build.

Automation will be handled by the APEX controller that I already have. I will be adding an EB8 and possibly a 2nd ph probe to handle the Calc reactor.

Reef Dynamics INS 180, initially this should have no problem handling the bioload however, as the reef progresses I may have to upgrade.

Custom acrylic sump made by me. I gotta start digging through Marc's site to find the pieces that I want. I want to be able to run filter socks while cleaning the tank. I want to have drains setup for water changes.

I have yet to find a suitably sized mixing container, I think the 30g trashcan that I have is too small.

    I am not sure why, but the last few blog entries have went to crap when I try posting or previewing. What I mean is the paragraph and picture spacing goes to hell and I have to edit it to correct it.

    Well, it looks like a sexy post to me.

    Speaking of sexy, is there an upgrade kit to turn the original RODI system into the bigger beast? Or do you have to order the whole shebang?

    I would upgrade to the newer one personally. Adding parts or trying to assemble it to look like the beast is a task, plus everything would be brand new.

    Nice, just got an idea for how I want to run my filter socks! I really should do a post about my progress sometime later today. I've managed to do some plumbing on my build and gotten the glass portion of the overflow installed. I also got my uncle to let me use his CNC router... for free! Too awesome!!
