RETIRED - May 2024
The time has come to get a thread going for this new build. I will do my best to keep everything updated as we move along but this build will be slow. Be prepared.
Equipment List
Tank: Glasscages 72x36x22 peninsula (smoked eurobrace, low iron on 3 sides, Synergy V2 overflow, water level concealer)
Stand: T-Slot Aluminum
Lighting: 6 x G6 XR15 and 1 AI Blade Coral Glow
Sump: Trigger Systems Custom Platinum 44
Flow: 2 X MP60
Dosing: BRS 2 part and hybrid balling method, kalk is dosed 24/7 with a Versa
Return Pumps: 2 x 7.0 Sicce SDC WiFi pumps
Controller: Apex A3 Pro
Skimmer: Reef Octopus Elite 150 with Avast Skimmate Locker
Other Filtration: Ice Cap in sump Algae Turf Scrubber (added 09/23)
Let's get some pics going and will share my thoughts on each item for this build in future posts. This build is, in essence, 16 years in the making and the title comes from a conversation my wife and I had while moving the tank in. I will share that story later when I post the move in pics but for now:
She said, "The things we do for a hobby. For. A. Hobby!"
My response, "It's a lifestyle."
