Gee Wiz!! reefing again finally, #happy

[Steviereefs]

Hi guys!!!
I missed you guys!!! I'm running again finally after what felt like forever and after a devastating reef blow on my 75. This time I down graded and plan on simplicity. I live on Cape Cod MA, the ocean is so close I decided I'm going all-natch-oo-ral for the basics, such as the water for water changes, and the sand.

My tank is a Marineland 29-30 gallon w/stand. I have a two or multiple bulb 65 watt t-5 for now, about 40 lbs or less of sand, and approx 30 lbs of rock in the display. I made a awesome DIY overflow and connected it to my Cyclone CPR190 sump and Rio 1400 gph return. The sump I eliminated the skimmer, and packed it full of rock instead and may add sand as I go , I went this direction with the sump because it just fits in the cabinet and no room for the skimmer to be handled, plus the skimmer impeller is shot.
Anyways without further a -do here is my baby!!!!

Congratz on getting the new tank set up :) Really like the aquascape. It'll look awesome once there's some coral filling it up.

Make sure you live in an area of high quality. The test results for each beach are shown on the map so you can review them yourself. Get the water at low tide if possible, better water quality. High tide can bring in bad stuff sometimes. Cape Cod has about the best beach water quality in the nation, so your lucky to live there. Wish I lived near a beach... ANY beach. I live in Idaho. But we do have amazing rivers.

That tank looks awesome. Wish you the best of luck.

Hey thanks for the heads up I appreciate it big time, I picked a good spot to harvest , I wish I was in the further less populated regions but the beach I get it from seems nice and clean.
