Hello @ycnibrc! How's the reef doing?

I bought his tank and the build thread is below. Upon the move, I got hit with velvet so unfortunately still recovering, lost some fish in the process! :(

Well I used to have a great tank but after covid it’s went down hill fast. However every failure give new opportunity to re-build. After long discussion with Crystal dynamics this time I will go with glass instead of acrylic.
The new tank dimension is 96”x36”x30” starfire glass with white cabinet and canopy.
I used to love sps dominant reef but this time will be mix reef with angels fish.
Equipment
Return pump is 2x red dragon pump
Manifold is another red dragon
3/4hp trade wind chiller with ranco controller
3x600w titanium heater with ranco controller
Avast mutiny ozone with Poseidon 200
1x57w Aqua uv and 1x40w Aqua uv
2 x mp 60 2 x gyre xf 350 cloud edition
Light 2 x oxis 6 x 120 bulb combo from Orphek plus 2 x uv/violet
Salt and additive
This tank will base on Aqua forest salt and additives. I want to try something else from zeovit of the last tank.
Controller
The main tank will have the coral vue hydros and the frag tank will have the apex. I run 2 different controller to compare results
Tank
Crystal dynamics starfire extra brace and full canopy and stand combo white lacquer
96x36x30 this time I go a little taller so the fish can have place to swim.
Fish
This tank will be angels dominate mix reef so here are the list of angels already have
Emperator
Queen
Blue face
Larmark
French
Japanese swallow tail mail and female
Lemon peel
Flame
Majestic

Future addition regal Angel, gold flake , asfur
Corals
Well I guess torches, hammers, euphilla, hopefully some meat corals, acans , stag horn , some green sinuralia finger corals , mushrooms, and some varieties of hardy sps.

Tank eta delivery will be mid December. I enclose a few pictures of where the tank and equipment will be install. The garage will host 2 frags tank and a custom sump from Advanced Acrylics and all necessary equipment.
One of the frag tank probably will be sps dominated since my love for sps will never die

Stay tune for more updates. I’m excited for my new house and new tank journeys

Bro you definitely cannot have a Lemon Peel in a mixed reef tank they nip at soft corals
