Oceanic 67 Gallon Rimless Build

[mitch91175]

We I caught the bug again. I already have a 240g, and I wanted to get something upstairs for the kids to ooh and aww over so today I picked up a used 67g Oceanic rimless (36x18x21) from a member on our local forum. I was going to make a stand for a 40g breeder, but after spend right at $300 on materials and still going to need more to get the stand that I wanted, I found this gem for $360 with tank, stand, sand, mount for lights, live rock, and some miscellaneous chemicals, etc. I cleaned it the best that I could without damaging anything.



Today I painted the inside with Kiltz to protect the wood from rotting. I also picked up a Trigger System 30x12 sump for it as well. Paid just as much for the sump as I paid for the aquarium, etc. go figure.

Tomorrow I will hang the doors and work on the plumbing if time permits.

Parts that I already had for this build:

Reefbreeder 36" LED
Vortech MP40W (I have 2, but I think I just need 1 for this build)
Skimmer (forgot the model, but it used and will like replace. I think it an ASM)

I will be looking for a few used items like an Apex with all the fixings in the near future.

Thanks. Was too good to pass up.

I think I am going to do most softies and LPS in it with some reef safe fish. Since this is upstairs and my son will be primarily responsible for maintenance on it, I want to make it as easy as possible for him to maintain.

Fish list:
Bicolor Blenny
McCosker's Flasher Wrasse
Firefish (3-4)
Black Cap Basslet
Clown Fish (2)

Inverts:
Banded Coral Shrimp
Brittle Star Fish

I have been buying frags of zoa for this build and adding them to my main DT until it is ready. I already have a lot of purple ricordia growing like crazy in my DT that I will move a few to this build. I just ordered the following zoas for this build as well:

BEBB
PZ Vampire
Joe Crab's Nebula
Blue Hornet
