help me build THE r2r tank!

[lazycouch]

hey guys i thought it’d be cool if my third reef tank (on a budget heh) was built entirely by r2r peeps! i want to make a 55 gallon breeder into and lps dominant / softy tank !! since i don’t have much room, recommendations for internal filtration would be preferred. i’m thinking maybe a HOB protein skimmer and fluval external mechanical filtration system maybe? not sure perhaps a canister filter may work! lets see what you have in mind. (budget $400-500)

dimensions 48x21x14 https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petco...ndard-glass-aquarium-tank-55-gallon-5051128-1

Very interesting idea! I’m following for sure.

since you’re taking input. You need some Favia/favites. Because...great justice? Lol

idk. But that coral is on my list sooo

You might want to explicitly spell out your budget to help people give you effective ideas. Be interesting to see what others contribute for ideas.
