3FordFamily Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 The tank itself is a 120 X 30H X 26, or about 405 gallons plus a large sump. This tank will be a FOWLR. It'll be full of tangs, large angels, large wrasse, puffers, a couple triggers, and a lionfish. It's been a crazy year, it may be a while before I have a lot of fish but at least the tank will be there! Equipment (will be updated): ASM G6 Skimmer 5 AI Hydra 26 HD lights 2 Abyzz A200 return pumps 2 Maxspect XF250 Gyres 2 Jebao cheapo PP-20 if needed 3 Eheim Jager 300W Heaters Bayite Temp Controller for the heaters ~85G Acrylic Sump Most of the wall where the tank will be sitting will be covered in recycled granite pieces, and then white shiplap to the right at the bottom of the stairs. This is a pretty tall stand, 4 feet, in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much care for my babies alone due to my wife’s work schedule including most weekends but if someone is willing to help everyone is welcome any time! Thanks!

That’s why I am now on Reef2Reef and here exclusively. I moderate R2R it’s amazing how different we are than RC. Lots of great users both places though. I’m just not a fan of overmoderating and abuse of “power”. Can you paraphrase it? Can’t even see it LOL! 1 hour ago, MrsBugmaster said: NICE! Thanks! How are your angels?
