After a 125g reef (now a fowlr) and a 20g nano.. i decided to upgrade my 20g nano to a 44g reef.. the upgrade was due to a lot of factors like too little space in the nano for corals, the LED lighting got busted (driver and corrosion issues), and the ATO w/ kalk had a check valve problem.. all this happened during september-october when i was so busy and had no time to fix the problems..
The main tank will be upgraded to a 44g (36"x18"x16" (lxwxh)).. this will arrive on friday according to mang ramon.. the cabinet will be my old cabinet for my nano that will be modified.. still in the building phase.. 40"x20"x32" (lxwxh).. the place where the nano used to be located will be used for a frag tank.. maybe a 5" tall frag tank..

all the equipment will be the same except for the lights.. RO BP reactor(BR-70), RO Kalk Reactor(KR-100), and RO skimmer (NW-110 w/ pinwheel impeller)
the lights will be composed of 30-36 3W LEDs w/ 60 deg lenses.. not yet decided on the number of LEDs.. i will be using 3 china LED drivers that can drive 7-12 3W LEDs each.. the LEDs will be divided on 2 12" long heatsinks..
