This thread is as much to share with my Reef2Reef family that inspire constantly, as it is for team Ja-Reefing who is on this journey with me.
Well, after my first year and a half of learning about reefing and after having lots of failures and quite a few successes, I've decided to wipe the slate clean and try to do stuff right from the get go, meaning hopefully no aiptasia. Lol.
My old man had a huge tank made from half inch glass that he had to get rid of due to space and we decided to cut it down into a cube for him and a tank for me.
My current tank is a custom 54 x 17 x 19 undrilled tank. When I say custom I mean, some friends had some glass they were tossing out and I asked the glass cutter guy to silicone it up. I knew nothing of reefing, as it isnt really done much here on the island but along the way, the old man and I met a few awesome and crazy people scattered across the capital that helped guide us
First things first, the new tank is being assembled. Same dimensions as the previous but 22 high. I dont have the space for the width I wanted. We cant pull rock legally from the sea so we had to make them.
First attempt
