Angel Reef

[thepubenator]

Finanally bought a house so can have a more permanent tank. I am obsessed with SPS and Angels which will both dominate this tank

Tank is a custom 73x32x50" (185x80x50cm) peninsular made out of low iron glass with a one piece euro brace.

stand is finished in white satin poly with american wallnut doors

and the tank, will install the weir and plumbing when it arrives

Sump

the scape is completed

Already know I'll love it! I'm a huge angel fan as well. One day when I have a large enough place I will be following in your footsteps! What kind of angels are you looking at?

Thanks

I currently have the following
3 x regal
2 x flame
1 x majestic

I would like a bandit and possibly a fancy dwarf pair if i can source in time.

Beautiful selection. The bandit is a must, especially with a tank that size, it'll look so amazing. Have you considered a Wantanabe pair? They will look good swimming around that space. Dwarfs - I have a biased towards Potters, their coloration is awesome and they don't pick at corals too much. Speaking of corals, are you worried about the angels cleaning them out?

I was more so thinking of pair of joculator or interruptus if i can source them. I had a pair of potters for a while am a fan, as above have most of the angels already in this my current tank so have little concern of them eating SPS

That's quite the wish list, they would be amazing additions - out of my pocket book range for now. Your tank looks great, looking forward to seeing what you will do with the new tank!

g'day mate, looking forward to this build.

73"x32"x50". Is that height correct? The tank doesn't look tall.

This is what I was thinking too. Regardless, this is a sweet build and I absolutely love that cabinet.

 

[Breakthecycle2]

Oh def. It's looks very nice.

Yeah made a typo, should read 20", the CM figures are correct however.

Tank was filled last night

Looks nice! I love angels and can't wait to see this tank up

 

[MRRBW]

Looks slick. I meant to ask earlier, what is the black stuff on the top of the stand, which now has the tank placed on top of it?

Awesome tank!
1 recommendation, more rock, make caves. Angels need caves to hide in.
I have a Majestic and a Blue face together, just posted some crappy phone pics a few mins ago, new thread.

the black stuff is rubber to put the tank on, instead of using foam, did this on last tank also.

Light arrived and was installed over the weekend, and fist fish are in.

Any updates? Did you make the stand yourself? What's it look like with the sump? The new additions look good, tank looks very sleek!
