Dream Build - Waterbox Reef LX 270.6

Bit of background

My previous tank was a 90g+50g (R2R Thread) tied together to same sump that ran for almost 2 1/2 years before tearing it down and selling it as we bought our first home in the beginning of 2021. Also reason we sold it was because I wanted a bigger tank and since we bought a house, what better time to do so.

I bought the Reef LX back in Feb. and after some issues I had with the LFS I bought it from, I had to get my money back and buy it directly from WB. So while I've been waiting for the tank to arrive, I have been acquiring items for the tank. Some of the stuff I didn't need since I was planning on using the equipment from the last build. And since this build took way longer than what we were anticipating, I lost 90% of my coral, but still have a majority of my fish which I am happy about.

List of equipment that I know will be used on the tank

4 G5 XR30 Pro

4 MP 40's

Vectra L2

Deltec 1500i Skimmer

Alkatronic

Geo 612x2 calcium Reactor

Jebao DCP-2500 (will be used as a Power Filter)

Not sure if I will be using this hardware listed below

Apex 2016 (this might get changed out later on)

2x DOS (might get changed later on to something else)

2x WAV pumps

The tank will be a SPS dominate bare bottom tank using Marco rock. I will be running a modified version of the DSR method(Dutch Synthetic Reefing) with this tank. I call it modified since it will be running a CaRX, and will not need to dose their ALK, CAL products.

Since I've had some time on my hands, we started working on the rockscape for the tank already. I'm sure we will be adding a bit more rock later on, but I've include a picture of what it looks like on our work bench. No tank, no water, and no sexy corals but they shall come!
