    Default 210 Gallon build

    I currently have a 90 gallon tank, and I'm upgrading to a 210. I'm going to try and post as I build this tank.

    So far I have:

    210 Gallon dual over flow glass tank.

    48" custom sump, SRO-5000 Internal Super Reef Octopus Skimmer, and 2 phosban 550 reactors.

    Pine stand that I'm in the process or painting. The wife wanted a crackle look for the stand so I've been sanding, priming and now i've put the first coat of paint on. The current dark brown will not show much. She picked out a cream top color. After it's painted I'll be putting on 3-5 coats of polyurethane inside and out to seal everything up.(by the way carpet is being torn up next week is why there are no tarps down.)

    Lighting:

    2 32" reef breeder 200watt LEDs
    Question...how high should i hang the lights from the top of the tank?


    I've got most of the pumps and power heads already. I am also using RO water .

    Does anyone have any other items that would be beneficial or advice they would like to post on what is the best way to transfer from the existing tank?

    Thanks and I'll try to keep up on the build. hope to have it up and running by the second week in march.
