I upgraded my tank to a 180g(72x24x24) Reef Ready tank made by All Glass. Previously I had a 120g Mixed reef which I broke down a couple of months ago. Before the 120g, I had a 72g when I was about 11 years old.
I decided to go ahead and get a custom stand and canopy built for this tank. I didn't like the height of the stand on the 120g, so with the new stand it will stand about 42" high.
Equipment is as follows.
Circulation:
2x Tunze Stream 6100 w/ 7095 Multicontroller
Sequence ReefFlo Dart Water Pump (down the road)
Mag 24 Return Pump
Lighting:
72" PFO Professional Series Metal Halide ~ 3x250w w/ 4PC
T5 actinics (down the road)
Filteration:
GSA Standard Eight Skimmer
GSA M-15 Calcium Reactor
GSA Kalk Stirrer
Deltec FR509 Fluidized Reactor
Aqua 40w UV Sterilzer
Other
Aquacontroller PRO
Reef Fanatic pH Monitor
36"x16"x16" Custom Acrylic Sump
Heres a future fish list:
Desjardini Sailfin Tang
Red Sea Purple Tang
Yellow Belly Hippo Tang
Blonde Naso Tang ~Maybe
Lyretail Anthias (4 Females, 1 Male)
African Midas Blenny
Purple Firefish x2
Black and White Percula Clownfish pair
Radiant Wrasse
Blue Star Leopard Wrasse
Mystery Wrasse (maybe)
Psychedelic Mandarinfish
Green Mandarinfish
I am going to use about 250lbs of Fiji Liverock. As for the aquascape, I want to create an open look at the same time I want to have many places to put corals.
Here's a picture of my first reef~72g.(I was 13 at the time)
Here's a picture of my 120G reef before I broke it down.
Here's a few pictures of my stand almost built.
Stand is completed with the tank and canopy on. Pictures didn't capture the real color.
In a couple of days, the tank will be filled with water and over the weekend the rocks should be in as well.
