    Default Shallow Reef

    Well i finally got a 9-5 job, its been a long time coming but has also been an adjustment to my life style to the new job. Went from having a lot of time on my hands, to having little free time. Nothing to look forward to other than i get home, eat dinner than just sit around till i have to go to bed... wake and repeat. I think this new idea i have will atleast give me something to do untill spring/summer.

    Alright so here's the plan. Take it slow, do it right. Worked out well for my 90g.

    Tank - Haven't Finalized yet. Either 25x25x14 or 25x25x12... rimless, black silicon.

    sump - dunno plan is to have the tank drain into a fuge, than skimmer than return. dunno the size of the sump probably just gonna grab something from pet smart and do the baffles myself.

    Lighting - i think im gonna go with a DIY LED, rapid LED has a sweet black anodized heat sink on there site.

    Skimmer - Bubble Magus NAC6 or NAC7

    return pump - probably a quietone 3000

    flow - either a MP10 or the koralia's i have, probably the two 1400's to start than if i can get a deal on a mp10 ill switch to that.

    stock - 2 picasso's and a flame angel.

    corals - TBD, probably gonna use it as an emergency tank for my sps and some sps on the sand depending how they like the LED's.
