The tank is custom from Planet Aquarium, 60" x 30", and 18" tall. Calculated volume 140 gallons. It has 2 top braces and plastic trim top and bottom. (This is by design since I've gotten used to having a place to set things in top of the tank when I'm working on it.) It has 1/2" low iron glass on three sides, regular glass on the back. Internal overflow on the left back (also by design since 30" each direction to reach a center overflow is a bit much for me!), Herbie style drain and 1 return.
The stand is also custom made with 3 doors on the front - a large opening between 2 doors (no vertical brace) and a third door to the right of the other two, and a door on each end. The stand is 34" high, so the tank and stand sit right at 52". This is so much better than the 32" stand and 24" tall Oceanic that I currently have -- no more wet armpits when I'm sticking my hands in the tank!!
Sump is a used Eshopps R-300 (current Eshopps model for this style is the AR-300). I have the R-200 on my 90 gallon and like the design, so when I found someone selling an R-300 locally, I snapped it up
Skimmer is a Reef Octo 150
Return pump currently is a Sicce Syncra Silent 5.0, but I'm planning to change over to the Syncra SDC 9.0 I picked up during Black Friday; I was missing some plumbing parts and decided to just use the 5.0 to get the tank running. I'll be using tubing off the pump but then connecting that to PVC up to the bulkhead.
Heaters will be Eheim Jagers in an Inkbird controller.
I will be breaking down my 90 gallon Oceanic (48x18 and 24" tall) after I move everything into the new tank, so I'll use the Tunze ATO and Jebao powerheads from that at first, and supplement as needed. (I do have a new spare Tunze ATO and a used Jebao Gyre).
Recent pics of the 90: (so, yes @Miami Reef , just a few LPS!)
In addition to the fish and coral in my 90 gallon, I have some coral and fish in another tank - my old 58 gallon freshwater tank with hob filter. I bought the coral from someone's tank breakdown a couple years ago and then last year got fish and coral from someone else getting out of the hobby.
I honestly won't have much room for many additions once I combine everything, especially with the size of some of the coral colonies I have
