Well I got a long term project with Ecopoxy. They are a epoxy company located in Morris Manitoba, Canada.

I've been given the opportunity of setting up and maintaining there tank. It will be a mixed reef with preferAbly a magnifica anemone for a pair of true Percs. Tank will measure 4' long 2' wide 30" high with a coast to coast bean animal overflow setup to ensure the quietest flow possible.

Equipment will be as stated here:
Vertex 170 Alpha or vertex 180i
Ecotech Mp40 Quiet drive x2
Ecotech Radion XP30 pro x2
Apex Neptune controller system
Ecotech M1 return pump
Cobalt 200watt heater x2
Hydor smart level ATO

I'll be running either h2ocean salt or Red Sea coral pro in this system as he wants everything in it and I want top notch control in parameters. The second photo is where the custom sump made of plywood coated in Fiberglas and there epoxy. For proof there product is aquarium safe. They feature the product in west Edmonton malls stingray aquarium.

Here is the start. Of the project :)

Oh! Forgot to add the dry rock we ordered. Contacted http://fijireefrock.com and had them scape something for me. It'll be 150lbs roughly of dry Pukani rock, Tonga shelf and a piece of Tonga branch.

Here's just some playing around with the rock we got. I'll be using Fijicrete once I setup the tank itself to hold everything in place.

Here's a few more scape photos. I'm curing this dry rock because a buddy bought off the same supplier and had a ***** huge ammonia spike.

Changed up the rock work a bit and picked up a few things. This time tho I've done some more cementing and it'll be staying nearly identical when it is placed in the tank itself. So nervous and excited!!!

Well the tanks been delivered to the customer. He was very happy with the tank and mostly the rockwork. It gives for TONS OF SPACE for the fish to swim and Sps to grow. Also got a nice shipment in this week [emoji48]
