New Reef Build
- Thread starter Lepisosteus
- Start date
Plus a little photo update on the current reefer.
The second system will be similar to the first with AI equipment replacing Ecotech. I will be running 3 or 4 AI Hydra 52HD lights (have), 2/3 AI Nero 5s (have 2), an apex cor20 return (Have), a bubble king skimmer (Have might change out), and an apex monitoring system (need).
I would like to hang the lights from the ceiling within a t5 Hybrid unit. Would 4 butterfly clips above the drywall support the fixture weight?
stocking:
Gem tang (have in QT)
Powder b tang (have in QT)
Yellow tang (have in QT)
Achilles (On order)
Chromis school (waiting)
possibly a CBB (waiting)

Looks fantastic. Go with 1/4” toggle bolts, should be plenty strong to hang your lights off.
I always go overkill when I'm hanging stuff so, sorry no clue there.
I do however have a clue that your new reef is going to be as spectacular as your other one!

Picked up my black diamond of the ocean after 4 months in QT.
Started to slowly transfer over all LPS and soft corals into the second system. The plan is to create a large arch structure from the zoas in the middle to the torch rocks on the right. Then fill the tank with SPS. Final pics of the tank before the overhaul.
