Hi all!
Long time reefer here..
I began keeping SW fish in 2008. This is the first time I begin a custom build. My fiancé and I purchased our house March of 2019 and her only concern was that she wanted the system to blend into the finishes of the house and not just some crazy bulk of things in the middle of the house.
So the mission began:
The tank is an 8 ft x 24 in. x 22 in. from Planet Aquarium. It's replacing a Waterbox 5526.
Equipment list:
4 Ecotech XR30 GR Radions
3 Kessil A160we
Supplemental T5s on an Aquatic Life T5 Hybrid Fixture
Royal Exclusiv Mini Bubble King 200
Royal Exclusiv Media Reactor
Ecotech Vectra L2
Neptune Systems Apex / Trident / DOS
Custom Synergy Reef Sump
Custom Stand
Clearview Lid (in progress)
So I made the stand match the kitchen to keep it cohesive.
It is a work in progress. Im taking my time with it. Next up is a leak test this week, I have 200 lb of aragonite coming. I have lots of live rock already so it should be an easy transition.
Really excited to share this build with the R2R community!
