Cakes' 150 SCA Reef Build (Lots of custom projects)

[Nburg's Reef]

I like the aquascape. Good amount of top surface for frags and still room for fish to swim. What are you going to stock the tank with coral and fish-wise?

Here is the tank and sump as of today.

Nice! I'm just about to order the same tank. Is it exactly 60"x24"? I want to get a jumpstart on the stand.

Front is 1/16” undersized and sides are 1/16” oversized

Thank you. Fish-wise I want to get a couple tangs in there. I'd like a mandarin once the tank is more established. Aside from those, I'm pretty undecided. I had bought a royal gramma and a firefish that didn't make it through QT. Coral will be LPS, ZOAs, and Euphyllia until the tank is more established and I know what I'm doing, then may dabble in some SPS

Curious is the center overflow box glass?

Yeah, its made of glass but also has a layer of black acrylic covering it (which is what the baffle teeth are cut into). You can just make out the top of the glass below the teeth in the very first pic on my thread

Nicee! Thank you for the fast response. I’m looking at the same tank just trying to weigh out pros and cons on whether to get the center overflow option or drilled external shadow overflow. How do you like the tank so far any complaints ?

Been pretty happy with it so far..no complaints. Especially for the cost, the quality seems really on point.
