Build Thread - Jays 160G Dream Reef and Red Sea 40gal Floating Reef
Where to begin? Started in the fish hobby a decade ago starting in fresh water. First reef 5 years ago in a 40gal which I took down in a move. Started again a year ago with a used 230gal display tank that leaked a few months later from the bottom seal. Woke up to me thinking a fish was flopping...
www.reef2reef.com
The 160g reef just before the new tank arrived. Crammed pack full of corals. Just in time as my skimmer broker and I was already overstocked on everything.
The new tank measures 7feet long by 2.5feet high by 2.5feet depth, bringing the display to 330gal plus a 60gal sump. Total of a 390Gal system. 2x bigger than my last.The current layout has 4 Individual islands. One for SPS/LPS, One for Euphyillia, One for mushroom/softies, and Last one for Zoa's.

JBJ 25Gal SPS Grow Out tank.
Bought as a dedicated qt tank that turned into a SPS as I needed a very clean tank for them to grow. The tank is very simple as I just use filter floss that I change out once a week. It is bare bottom for easy removal of detritus.Livestock
