Hey everyone! I'm starting this tank build thread so I can not only show all of you the progress or non progress I have made with the tank but, for me to look back on the progress myself. Thanks in advance for all constructive criticisms y'all may have to help improve my knowledge of this great hobby. Feel free to ask any questions about the tank as well. I was Originally only going to do a FOWLR tank but I had a friend give me some coral for free and i was hooked. so I will add more Photos of my tank as I get the free time but to start ill post these two here. The first Picture is the night I found my tank off Facebook marketplace and you might notice it matched my already established freshwater tank in the room. this was the only way I talked my wife into letting me get another tank in the living room. Haha
This Picture was taken after I scored almost 75lbs of free live rock from my lfs who got it from someone who was getting rid of there tank. It was Covered in every pest out there. So I took the time to bleach wash it and let it dry. This was my first attempt at a Saltwater aquascape. As you can see in the pic I was running a aquaclear HOB filter and a Coral life HOB protein skimmer. The tank also had two sun sun power heads and is running a Nicrew LED light I took off my 75 gallon freshwater tank. I upgraded some of this equipment and will post more pics soon.
