Extract1ng · Sep 28, 2023

Hey everyone, thought I would post my aquarium build that I have in the works and get your guys opinions on it before I pull the trigger.

Display Tank:

INFINIA Reef 150.4

Lighting: HYDRA 32HD & HMS (2)
Return Pump: Sicce SDC 7.0
Auto Top-Off: XP Aqua Duetto2
Accessories: Refractometer
Protein Skimmer 1: Quantum 120
Mesh Aquarium Lid 1: Mesh Lids

QT: I plan on building a quarantine from a 40g breeder, but would like any advice on the best way to go about this.

Stock:
A tang gang is my goal to achieve in this tank.

- Powder Blue Tang
- Powder Brown Tang
- Scopas Tang
- Yellow Tang
- If I ever feel like spending more money a Black Longnose Tang.

Corals:
SPS heavy, especially Acropora tenuis.

What do you think about the waterbox reef tanks?

The Infinia tanks are just gorgeous! They were sold out in the UK when I was ready to pull the trigger so I went with a Cade in stead! Have you seen them?

Equipment is always subjective- some prefer some and some prefer other! Looks all good, you'll do just fine!

I am unsure whether keeping 4-5 tangs in a 4-foot tank like this is a good idea though! I have two in mine- i wish they had more room!

Thanks for bringing us along, can't wait to see it wet!

Thank you! The Cade is beautiful as well. They seem to have some pretty good cable management from what I can see.

I was thinking that about the tangs as well, I do plan on getting them as small as I can, but we'll see maybe a 6ft'er is the right choice for my dream tang gang.

I have the 150.4. It is great. The Sicce 9.0 I have is great, but a little strong (I have it on 25%), so the 7.0 should do. I also got a hydros waveengine with 2 Reef Octopus 4s. Probably need to supplement, not for overall power but for coverage.

The sump is great but I put the ato tank in an adjacent cabinet to provide some room for controllers. Using tunze osmolator for topoff. Reef Octopus Regal150 skimmer.

I use an Orphek Atlantic Icon, which is almost too much for my mixed reef even at the edges at the bottom. I am growing LPS at <50%.

Too small IMO for any tang but bristletooth. I have a one spot foxface that is great but not the best algae eater.
