I’ve been a long-time reader on the forum and after a 10-year hiatus from the hobby, it was time to start up again with a new build and my largest tank so far.
The project was led by Sam S. of Wet Work who has been an absolute pleasure to work with. His knowledge and expertise has been invaluable in all aspects of planning including equipment selection, designing life support systems, plumbing, electrical and lighting. Sam is also responsible for all aspects of the installation.
The Elos equipment was ordered through Scott G. from Aquarium Specialty who was very helpful with his advice and organizing delivery of the many components.
Reef145 centers around a Custom Built Elos 160 Diamond Line Tank which was special ordered with mitered corners. Many thanks to Nicola G. from Elos who accomodated all of our special requests for the tank and stand.
The design process began in October 2016 and soon after orders were placed. The equipment list is as follows:
