I picked up this tank from a guy selling it locally with almost everything needed to get it up and running. I have a 120 gallon setup that I will be combining equipment where possible. My 120 is setup as a mixed reef and I have SPS and LPS, the new tank will be similar on a larger scale.
This tank measure 96x30x30 with the overflow on one end and will be setup as a peninsula partially dividing my living room and kitchen so it will be a center piece.
As far as equipment, I will be using the ecotech L2 and M2 pumps for the return and manifold, 4 eco tech MP40s, a reef octopus 300 skimmer, a vertex calcium reactor, and ozone generator and an 80 watt uv. I will be using 4-4 bulb T5 fixtures 4 Kessil 360s for lighting and a stenner dual head perlistic pump for continuous water changes. I will be using the GHL P4 to control everything.
The tank did come with a stand but no canopy. The previous owner of the tank had one of the long sides painted and up against the wall. When I got everything to the house, the first thing I did was get that old paint off the glass.
I plan on using the reef octopus skimmer that came with the tank. After a vinegar bath, the pump seems to work well and the skimmer looks to be in really good shape.
The GHL equipment is currently running the 120 I have that includes a P4 system with the display mounted on the wall, the KH director, 2 additional 4 pump heads along with 3 power bars. One if the power bars is in my laundry room controlling my mixing station and my ATO. I will be adding 2 more power bars for the lighting since they are not dimmable fixtures.
I did get a 40 gallon breeder tank with it that was being used as a sump. I was looking at having a custom one built but after some research, its going to be like a 6 week minimum to do this. I do have a CNC router so I have decided to make one myself. That will be the next project once the stand it finished.
This is everything after unloading my trailer. I did get a bunch of rock and sand along with a vertex skimmer body, a couple misc. pumps and a stand.
Since the tank is going in the living room, I decided to remake it so that it match everything else in there. I am also adding a canopy for this. Here is where I am now, the stand and canopy. The stand will have 2 sets of double doors on the long sides and a single door on the short side. The canopy will have just have 2 sets of double doors on each side. The stand is 40 inches tall and the canopy is about 18 inches tall. I still need to make the cabinet inside the stand for the GHL equipment and the other 16 doors and it will be ready to paint.
