A bit of background on myself. I’ve had saltwater tanks since July of 2000, my first was my parents 140g corner tank (it was my dads but I was the one who ran it after a year). I was 14 at the time so naturally my first job was at the lfs we shopped at. After getting married and moving way to many times my collection of aquarium parts grew and grew and grew cause I bought and broke down tanks to resell everything. Ended up settling back in my hometown and set up a 40b with all the equipment I wanted. But 4 months in a crack appeared. We were wanting to buy a bigger house so I waited and waited and waited till we found the right place in February of last year. The spot we picked out for putting a tank limited on how big the tank could be. It ended up where a 40b footprint was the perfect footprint for the house.
I wanted a little more height so glass cages made me a 70g tank that is in the 40b footprint. 36x18x25. That little bit of extra height makes it much more Appealing to the eye. I already had the cabinet and hood from my previous build so it worked great. I could go on and on but I’ll get the the details.
I’m going sps dominant with a few lps/zoa thrown in. Here is a list of my sps I already have.
