Hi my name is Don.
A little background.
20 ish years ago I had a 240 reef sitting next to a 300 gal shark tank. Well we had a third kid and bought a bigger house. The tanks had to go. Fast forward, kids are all out as of right now ,LOL.
I bought a used RSR 170. Man times have changed. Reefing is totally a new world now. About 5 months ago on a Saturday morning. My wife was enjoying the tank. She looked at me and said, We need a bigger tank.
So now I started doing more research on an System like Waterbox or Red Sea etc. I decided I want to have more control of parts and sumps etc. so I decided I would order a tank . I wanted 5 foot by 30 inches by 24 tall. Did some research on Glasscages,CDA,Planet Aquarium and I even got a price on a reef Savoy.
Lead times were long and prices all over the map. I found a 72x30x26 CDA on the showroom floor at a local fish store. It has double eurobraced on top, PVC bottom and armor edges with a Synergy Reef V2 over flow. It is made of starphire glass. Just was I was looking for but 1 foot bigger.
So I order a Framing tech stand and started order parts for the build.
I will post pics as I go along
