BUMP old thread.. but anyways.. What lighting and sand are you using?

How much did it set you back? Very very nice.

Lighting is 2 normal output fluorescent lights. They are 36" All Glass brand strip lights, each has a 24" bulb. Sand is Estes brand Ultra Reef Marine Sand, beige color.

I think the tank, lids, and built-in overflow boxes where around $1300. I built the stand, sump, and did most of the plumbing for another $200 or so. Enjoyment of ray keeping: priceless.

Bump for an older thread. Let's have an update.

What pump are you using in your sump? Curious what the turnover rate is.

Return pump is a Mag 12. It's rated for 1200 gph, so I guess the turnover rate is about 1000gph.
