as of 2 nights ago i started assembling components for my 125. i had a few issues but i think i can get around them.
the protien skimmer is a little high for my stand 26 1/2" my stand is only 27 1/2" . all i need to do to remove the collection cup is slide the skimmer off the stand. but it has a drain so i would only have to clean it every so often. i had to move my apex outlets to the back corners of stand because of the size of the sump. other then that i dont see any problems.yet
list of equipment
1) trigger 36 sump
2) lifereef s2-24 skimmer
3) nextreef bio-pellet reactor
4) neptune apex controller
5) ato system controlled by apex -kalk most likely or if needed
6) 25w aquauv sterilizer (emergency only)
7) life reef calcium reactor -ph controlled by apex
8) brs gfo and carbon reactor
9) 2-36" odyessa light fixtures - each fixture had 1-250w phoenix 14k and 4-39w dual actinics
10) mag 18 return pump split to 2 returns . 1 side controls flow to uv then returns to the tank.
11) eshopps 1200gph overflow
12) custom returns from great lakes aquariums.
might of forgot a few things.
all i have left to do is organize wiring, hang lights, mount 1 more apex outlet, program apex unit, get an ato container, calibrate ph probes and maybe a few other small thing.
as far as stock. i havent decided yet. i might add a few corals and fish from my 28 nano to lighten the load on that tank.
i think fleshy will be happy now that im not posting on his thread.
here are some pictures. i will add more as i go.
