New 225 build for my new house

rmeads · 12/01/2012, 11:12 AM

I have purchased a 225 gallon aquarium for an in-wall installation in my new house (under construction, to be finished in Jan-Feb.) The aquarium will fit in my utility/laundry room, where I will have my tank, RO/DI equipment, water containers and other equipment. The front panel is starphire glass and will open into our family room. My sump will be either 30 or 36 gallons with a refugium area. I plan on either 3 Radions or 3 Vegas for my lighting. It will be mixed reef with LPS and for starters, easier to keep SPS corals. Fish will include some wrasses and several tangs, clown fish, angels and blue/green chromis. Pictures will follow and I hope you will follow along with my build offering any suggestions you may have.

I currently have a 90 gallon mixed reef that has been up and running for 6 years. I also have 15 years experience with a 55 gal Cichlid tank.

Can anyone recommend a sump/refugium for this build?
