Well I wasnt sure if I was going to do a tank build thread again but here we go...
I have been in the hobby over 14 years and had 3 different mixed reef tanks. First was a 90 gallon then I upgraded to a 72X24X24 AGE custom tank which unfortunately sprung a leak and I ended up taking it down after losing everything. I then moved and ended up with a redsea 350 which is what I currently have today.
Old tank
1/2 of AGE
Recently I started to get the itch again to get a bigger tank so I thought about a bigger red sea until my local store owner Jake asked me why dont I just get a Planet Aquarium tank. I started looking and ended up going with a custom 60X24X30 external overflow tank with pvc bottom.
I have always wanted to go bare bottom so that is the plan with the new tank. I will be carrying over some of the equipment from the rr350 including the lights and I am planing a 3-4 month cycle.
I have been very selective with all the equipment but some things were definitely chosen for looks not that I think they wont function any different than some other brands but Ill get into that at a later date.
A quick overview of the planed system:
Planet Aquarium Display 180 gallon
Planet Aquarium 36 inch tall stand
Reef Synergy CL-50 Sump
Modular Marine 3600 gph overflow
Apex control system
Radium Gen 4 XR-30 Pro X3
Aquatic life T5 hybrid
Triton system with Apex Dos (current) moving to CA reactor
Apex Trident
