Good Day Reefers,
Hard to believe I am hear again, new tank build after a two year break, after a horrible tank crash due to a air conditioning failure in my house. Anyway, I have wanted a planet tank for a while now, and after a few weeks of searching I happen to find the exact tank and stand that I wanted. It is a Planet Aquarium 225 that is two years old. 72 long X 30 Deep X24 Tall. It also came with Planets Steel powder coated stand. I picked it up on Saturday, and it needs to be cleaned a little, and obviously plumbed and set up. The tank is going to be located on the wall outside of my office and viewable from the kitchen and dinning room. Please excuse the mess as I have had to inventory what I have and what I need as one can imagine.
Plans so far are
Trigger 39 sump (from old system)
about 120 pounds of live rock (from old system)
sand bed
Skimz protein skimmer
3 Kessel lights and a 60" T-5 Fixture. this is also from the old tanks and loved the look
57 Watt UV along with a couple of media filters in line with the UV.
Goal is to have a mixed reef, with a focus on softies
