Upgrading to 75g! :)

by kayl on 05-16-2011 at 02:08 PM
After some discussion with my better half, I recently started purchasing components for my next tank!

The tank will be an Oceanic 75g RR with a yet undetermined size sump/fuge underneath.

Lighting will be a DIY LED build and will consist of:
  • 30 x CREE XP-E Royal Blue
  • 10 x CREE XP-E Blue
  • 20 x CREE XP-G Neutral White R3
The lighting will be driven by 6 Thomas Research Products Drivers - 4x 25W for the blues and 2x 38W for the whites.
Lighting will be dimmable

I added a Vortech Battery backup and installed the wireless expansion chip from EcoTech into my MP10es, making it a MP10wES. I mounted the battery backup in the rear of my stand.

In front of the backup, I mounted a 6x6x4 weatherproof
