Ok so here it goes , plans are to have a DT custom made with the specs L36xW26xH22 with 2x 1.5'' drains with 2x3/4 returns all holes will be drilled in the bottom glass the overflow will be running the whole length of the tank leaving me with 24 width of room for aquascaping .
WIll also be running a 43 gallon frag tank with specs 36x23x12 with 1.5'' drain already drilled and a 3/4 return over the back , hoping to have this running with a 75 gallon Sump which leaves me with 210 gallons total .
For equipment I have a few ideas already but other I have no clue what to look into , for lighting I plan on going with 2x sunlight supply tek 6 bulb units , for a skimmer I was looking at vertex wa thinking 180 but I will have to go one step up on that unless I opt for a smaller Sump which could possibly happen but thats in the future . Now where Im stuck is what pump to use for return there will be approxiamtely 2800 gph draining threw 3 1.5'' drains into one Sump and hopefully one pump pushing that back threw 3 returns .
There will be more equipment obviously comming into the picture but for now this is my start , Im down for criticsm I will definetly need some help on this system for sure as it will be my first time running 2 tanks threw one Sump and having a frag system so Im pretty excited . Please give me some pointers if you see something you would change . This will be a slow process more then likely so pics will be up as progress moves along .
