Little history of how we got to this build thread.
Been into saltwater for many years. Was an immigrant from the old 3reef days and came over here when the site was basically taken down. I have had many tanks over the years but my two displays to be proud about were my 55 gallon and my 220 in wall. You can find those build threads here...

Please read through these as I think they are quite impressive.
That leads us to here. The 220 after moving it down stairs, became too much with the moisture. No matter what I had done, it just got worse. It needs to be take down as hard as that is. Its a safety issue. This decision was made this week (8/1/23).
I was able to come across an older style 29 gallon BioCube from a friend of mine. My plans are to keep my 13 year old paired and mated B&W clown fish, mostly LPS with a couple other fish that the kids will eventually pick out. Maybe some SPS because I just cant help it.
This is just the beginning, so please, stay tuned. Thanks.

55 Gallons of Eye Candy
