after a custom 225 i had ordered, that was not done right( how can we start, seams had 11 chips, maybe due to shipping, glass was not accurately attached, overflow was wrong color and the silicone was sloppy--really sloppy) i returned tank, got my money back, use the money for future upgrades, but for now, this is my complete DIY reef---almost all equipment was what i from memphis and re-set up

details of this tank-------
65 gallon corner pentagon with over 200 pounds live rock, 10 gallon diy sump with reef octopus bh 100ss hob skimmer, rio 3100 return, 4 rio 800 powerheads, 70 watt 14k mh pendant with 2 powerbites, with par 38 refugium lighting

all of this will soon be converted to the newer tank( a custom 180 gallon( from another company--miracles aquarium) in about 3 months-- i just wanted to show everybody what i have been working with

It looks great Preston! Did you collect any of it locally? Have you taken Scuba lessons yet?

some of the corals were collected locally--i have had 3 lessons so far, but we took a break, cause there was an outbreak of jellyfish recently, plus the cost is not cheap, but it is fun
