Just brought her home, waiting on stand and canopy still:

24894

24895

The overflow doesn't go all the way down so I can position wave makers in the middle and not obstruct the side views.

Equipment plans are as follows:
2 radion pros
2 mp10s or the new Maxspect riptides
jeabo dc return pump
reef octopus doc skimmer
tunze ato

keeping it simple so no refugium and no reactors.

livestock will be 4-6 wrasses, 4-6 anthias, and a white tail bristle tooth tang. Coral will be all sps.

That is a nice tank. Has that different style with the L. Fun build to watch.

A little updating, the custom stand was delivered and I love this thing. I'm realizing now, though, that the shape and location will make everything difficult to get to once water is in. I'm gonna have to set it all up before I fill her up and pray nothing leaks or pull her a foot or so off the wall so I can squeeze behind to check on stuff...


but enough of that, on to the pictures:

The last one is the view while seated at the couch. The stand is about 34" tall in order to be a comfortable viewing height while seated :bigsmile:

It's been awhile so here's a little update:

I have all equipment except lights currently:

Coralbox D700 Skimmer
Jeabo DC6000 return pump
2 MP10wES
300w JBJ True Temp Heater
Tunze Nano ATO

I added 100lbs of Aargonite sand to give me a 1inch sandbed and about 70 pounds of rock cycling at the moment.
