75 gallon mixed reef build

[SFish]

Love what you are doing! I cannot wait to see the complete set up with lights and everything in. I am setting up a 75 g tank and just got so inspired.

Thanks

It's taking forever. When It warms up I hope to get a bunch of stuff done.

All I really need is to make some lids for the storage containers and a pump. Then it's on to the next thing after wet testing. Most likely I'll work on the overflow box.
