[I_HEART_ZOAS]

Ok im finally going to do it! i have been reefing since 1996 and always wanted a 200 gallon tank. The wife gave the go ahead a couple weeks ago so must of the stuff i ordered has arrived and the stand and canopy are getting stained tomorrow. Heres the list of what im running any and all critisism is welcome i want to do this right........... 200 g dd tank, 2 mp 40's, 2 tunze stream's, for lighting i went with 4 ai vegas i have always used retro halides so im a little nervous about this one. For a skimmer i got the reef octopuss dcs 250 int, aqua medic reef doser twin, jbj ato. the sump is still pending not sure if ill build or buy so ill keep ya posted. Anyways always wanted to do a build thread so here it goes.......

Should be picking up tank toaday and rubbermaid which will hold all inhabitants from current system.

Nice colonies!

What's better than a tank build? Another tank build of course!
