So bought this tank when it was first released a few months ago ive had a handful of im tanks the past few years ans have always been happy with the quality

Builds been kinda slow process but made some head way this week so figured id start posting this tank is going to be mainly zoas few other ods and ends and im a lazy reefer so like to try and keep thing simple

Im100 int with aps stand

Lighting is 3 ai primes (may add 4th) on a custom light rack built from 80/20

Sump is the new bashsea smart series

I added some lights to the inside of the stand found some clearance cabinet lighting at lowes for $11 works well

Things ive decided on but need to puchase
Reef octo essence 130 skimmer
Jebao dcp pump
New reactors (prolly bashsea)
Marco rocks after going back and forth between it and the carib sea shapes

Undecided
If im going to run an actual fuge or algae reactor or just skip both for now

Wave maker was thinking try a single icecap gyre and if i hate it ill go buy the maxspect and run 2

Ive got a new eshopps ato res but its only 5 gallons id kind of like more so was debating on building my own to fit in the remaoning bottom area i have

Other picture is my current temp tank 40 breeder run on a hob i tore down my sr60 into this to make room for the new tank and am actually quite happy with the 40 its been working nicely

So i changed things up and pulled out the electronic sliding rack and build myself a simple board with some 1/2in pvc sheet along with a holder for all the power bricks for my lights

Bulkheads are installed on the tank and waiting for a buddy to come help me lift it back into place then will get some adhesive cleaned off the bottom glass and get my hdpe sheet siliconed in place

2 of the lights are mounted will be adding 1-2 more once i start adding stuff in

Is your rock worked made to come apart? Hopefully so as it would be fun getting that in and also getting parts of it out in the future.:)

I would make it so you can remove the rock easy. You never know when something nasty will start going on a piece and you need to get it out of there.:)
