Full tank shot is difficult for this tank because of the length 96" but here are a few

Stunning colours and beautiful reef tank!

Just went throught the entire build thread
Great build and amazing tank!
Well deserved ROTD!

Sorry if this is a newbie question, but what is the fish in this pic?

Zeovit is great after 1 year that's when growth is exploding. My tank is only 3.5 years which mean only take 2.5 years to grow those Hugh stag horn colonies.

Great to hear! I’ve been trying the zeovit method for about 4 months now and still holding out for an increase in growth. ;Hilarious

It's a Mandarin goby. It's mainly eat pods so give your tank at least 6 months old before adding.

so far I have been collecting equipment for this tank some old some new but this time it will be high tech.
I want to automate 90% of the task so all I have to do is cleaning the acrylic.
The heart of the reef tank will be an Apex neptune
Flow will be 2 MP40QD, 2 Tunze 6105 and 2 sea swirl return flow with a red dragon 80w pump.
Calcium reactor is a GEO 624 with cole palmer 7250-70 brushless motor
Water change is done by neptune dos
Cal and Mag are dose by 2nd dos
Skimmer is Bubble King super marin 250
1/2 tradewind chiller
2x500w titanium heater run by ranco temp controller
GFO is run by GEO 420 white reactor
Carbon is run by 2nd GEO 420 white reactor
Zeolite is run by MRC reactor
Aqua UV 40 watt
wave line DC10000ii running the manifold,UV and chiller.
2x55g RODI and salt water mixing.
8xkessil 360we and 2 blue actinic LED
Also different module from Apex like AFS, WXM,PM2, Break out box, Avast ATO.....

After seeing John from Advance Acrylic at reef palloza we decide to do custom round corner and round top and possible the first white back with white overflow to match the sump and stand. I can't wait until Feb 1 to pick up the tank and stand to start so I can transfer my current tank over.

that's pretty much most of the equipment that I will use for this project

really nice equipment you have selected - definitely a high quality setup. Curious where did you get your sump? Is it custom built (by whom)? Any more pics? Looks really super clean!

I asked because it looked like John’s work at Advance Acrylics. I’m also talking to them right now about building me a 80 gallon sump. Is your last chamber for return pump and next one a refug? really appreiate you taking the time to share the pics.

Yes last chamber is for return. Next to last is refugium. Make sure u measure your skimmer my skimmer almost didn’t fit lol.

Well finally have something to show
My RMF yellow matrix is getting more yellow. The yellow tang photo bomb is perfect to see the yellow contrast of the coral

Which one did I post pictures before?

 

[Tom Stevens]

I think I saw in one of your videos. It was red and collected from the wild ( if I remember correctly).

Oh that one is from the wild not in my tank. I have other red stag but not as red as that one.

One of the cleanest builds Ive seen, definitely using this for some inspiration on my upcoming build.
