George's 100gallon build thread

[Juggernaut63]

After 3 long years out of the hobby I'm excited to be setting up a new tank.

Tank dimensions are 38" x 28" x 22" which puts it about 100 gallons.

Sump is a 40 gallon breeder with a refugium.

Return pump is a Deepwater DC7

Skimmer is a Bubble Magus Curve 7

Powerhead is a Jebao RW8

Pictures to come.....

Yes, lots of real estate indeed!

I'm having trouble uploading the pics. Upload keeps failing. I remember having this problem in the past but don't remember the solution.

Yes Marvin, I have an ATI dimmable sunpower and I'll be adding a reefbrite strip to it.

I bought 100 lbs of dry Fiji rock from BRS and used a table and a cardboard template of the tank. I tried to use the rule of thirds to assemble the aquascape.

I used Jurassic gel from BRS to glue the rocks together. It took a while to dry but held well.

I washed the sand and added it to the tank first. I went with Fiji Pink. Then I carefully transfered the rocks to the tank.
