Morning, I thought I'd start sharing my build today as my new tank is arriving. I have ordered a custom made 75gallon (300litre) 52inch long, 16 inch high, 22inch front to back (frag like) tank from prime aquariums w/ 80litre sump as an upgrade from my horrible 270litre curved front. The tank size I ordered is a very similar size to the ea reef 1200s.The tank will be semi planted w/ mainly java moss.
To get me started I have ordered 2 kessils a80 tuna sun's w/ spectral controller and a jecod dct12000. I have partly built the tank stand for my aquariums out of timber. I will post photos later of the stand once the tank has arrived at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
Part of the reason I am posting this is to do with the kessils a80 tuna sun's. I much prefer the look of the a80 compared to the 160 and being 100pounds less per light 3 of them would stand me in 50 pound cheaper than 2 a160's.
I am Wondering if 2 a80 will give me the coverage of a 52" long tank. After much research I didn't find anything so fingers crossed they are suitable otherwise I shall be purchasing another much to my girlfriends dislike.
