I’ve been out of the hobby for 10-15 years and always said I would get a bigger tank when I bought a house. I started out with a 29 gallon fw and converted it to salt, then upgraded to a 75 gallon. It looked much bigger than the 29, but I saw a bigger saltwater demo tank at a LFS (complete with a large carpet and hosting clowns) and I have wanted a large mixed reef ever since. Had tile laid down in the space where it was going and am pleased with the look of it and the stand.
220 gallon Aqueon MegaFlow
R&J Enterprises Extreme Walnut stand w/canopy
Eshopps R300 refugium sump
Vortech L1
Bubble Magus Curve A8
Lifeguard Aquatics QL-25 UV sterilizer
Apex controller
Neptune ATK
3 x Radion XR30w Pro
WXM Module (waiting for shipment)
Neptune Lunar simulator module (4 led model)
2 bulb 60” T5 retrofit
100 lbs live rock
80 lbs dry rock
CaribSea Fiji Pink (believe 300 lbs)
Eheim Jager 300 watt heater
Gyre XF350 x2 (waiting for backorder to arrive)
Chaetomax refugium light (waiting for shipment)
Think that is all of it. They delivered and set it up, including the water. I’ve head to change a few things (some folks here advised to move the ATK to the return chamber), I’d like to change the aquascape also, the overflows are way too noisy, UV sterilizer needs to be on its own pump and not in the return path, etc. Started cycling with ammonia on Tuesday of last week if I remember correctly (been sick).
I have to start the list of fish now. I just wish the maroon clowns weren’t so aggressive. They are very attractive fish!
