Here it is, my first ever reef tank, planned since we bought the house two years ago and after a lot of research and planning it is finally slowly becoming real !

The goal is to have a mixed reef tank.

Equipment:
- RedSea REEFER Peninsula S-700 G2+
- 2 x redsea reefwave 45
- redsea reefATO+
- skimmer reef octopus Elite 200-int
- full marcoRock Scape
- Chiller Teco TK1000
- 4 x Radion XR15 G6 pro

and probably:
- and a lot of Reef Factory gadget hopefully (i'm a bit of a gadget junkie :) )

The goal is to have something that looks like that (only a bit smaller, here it shows a 180cm tank, mine will only be 150cm):

The stand is now just waiting for some strong friends to put a tank on it :)

The two cabinets at the back end of the peninsula are home made and I brought the water and a dedicated electric line in them.

Tank and rockwork in place !
Sump is ongoing, I brought the drain just above the sump just in case (auto tester for example).

Currently setting up the sump area, I brought the drain just above the sump just in case but it is too high for the skimmer, so the auto drain of the skimmer goes in the electrical side of the cabinet.

My mini mixing station setup:
Top left there is a leak detector that will close a water valve before the rodi.
Top right we can see the solenoid valve of the smart ato Ro that closes when the reserve tank is full

In the next cabinet, the rodi water tank (18L) is on the right. There is a hole in the back directly connected to the drain in case the top sensor doesn't stop the water from flowing.
The 50L tank on the left is where i will be mixing the salt water

Some news: the tank is wet since end of January and slowly cycling, I added my first snails a few days ago to start taking care of the algae.
I unfortunately couldn't find the reef factory ligths anywhere so I went for 4 Radion XR15 G6 pro instead.

The electrical part almost all set up (still missing the dosing pumps and I have some space left for more screens on the left :D)

And the sump area in water. I haven't mention it before but i'm running 2 jebao dcp 5000 (running at 55% for now).

- 1 six lines wrasse
- A group of Anthias (but which ones ?)

First fish introduction in the last two weeks, first a pair of clown and then two tangs a few days ago: one purple tang and one lieutenant tang:



I also had a few aptaisia on my live rocks so I introduced 4 wundermanni: the next day impossible to spot a single aptaisia !

Dosing pumps installed. I also raised the electrical stuff to get more space in the cabinet:

I also installed two populargrow (aliexpress) bars. I'm quite impressed by the result, i had ~200 par 35cm (14 inches) below the surface with the radions at 75%, the two bars bring that to ~300 par.
They didn't make a black version so I had to paint them though:
