:help: ok so i am going to be upgrading to a DB 57 rimless after Christmas im trying to get all the equipment together that i might need. If you can please take a look and let me know if this seems right and if I'm missing something please let me know, suggestions welcome.
Tank: 57 db rimless
Stand- i really wanted a custom stand i sent 2 members a pm with no response so i guess im going with their series 2 ( if anyone does stands send me a pm please)
Lighting- 2 AI sols blue ( iffy if i want to/need to get a 3rd one)
Sump/fuge - i had a sump made a few years ago from custom king along with a protein skimmer(this will be upgraded within a year hopefully)
fuge light is going to be a par38 bulb
2-mag9.5 (is this overkill? i think i had either a 5 or a 7 in my last tank which was a 72bow) 1 for the skimmer the other for the return.
BRS GFO and Carbon Reactor dlx style with their suggested colbalt pump (im going to run both gfo and carbon in this)
thinking of possibly getting a new ro/di its just crazy expensive so I'm not sure yet - Aquatic life ro/di 100gpd
2 hydor Evolution 1400's (would love an mp40 but i cant justify spending 450 on a power head)
Im going to need an ATO - any recommendations?
full Apex with ph, temp probe and EB8
Another question i have is im going to be building a rock/foam wall to cover my overflow and most of the back I'm going to be using my 'live' rock this will prob need about 2 days to set, am i going to have to cycle these rocks again or there wont be much die off? Someone had also said you can 'paint' some pvc primer on after to give it an effect of looking like some coralline growth on it ( i haven't seen what it looks like) is that a bad idea? i just don't want the rock wall to look weird until i have some coralline growth on it but i can deal with it if needed
