New 70 Gallon Tall Setup

[twychopen]

Here is a picture of what I have in mind. I am very open to suggestions. The Idea is to have everything automated. I have not added the dosers to the picture I attached but I will have one. Once a week I will have a timer run a pump to drain 5 gallons out of the tank. Right after that I will have the Saltwater mix run and fill 5 gallons into the tank. I will have an auto top off run periodically throughout the day (like I do with my tank now) to fill it with pure H20. The dosers will run as needed with load of corals. Phos and Carbon reactor will run constantly and I will have a Protein skimmer running constant as well (obviously). Am I missing anything? This will be a coral tank with anthias as of right now. I still need to build the stand and sump but should have this done by the end of the week if not next week. Please let me know if there is anything I am missing or something I should change. Thank you!Upstairs Fishtank Pictuer.jpg

You are showing power under sump? I would move electrical devices above your sump. Looks like an awesome setup.

+1 power above the sump but looks awesome.

I want to make my own sump, anyone know of a good/cheap place to get plexiglass or acrylic?

what's up with these 70 gallon nanos... ;)

is it 36 inches long. may be cheaper and easier to find a 30 gallon tank and add baffles than to build a sump. i know there was a 36 in sump for sale on here not to long ago

Oh, also forgot to say don't use plexiglass--gets too brittle over time; acrylic a much better choice.
