James30ct's 180g mixed reef

Love the setup, what did the stand cost you in materials? I'm thinking of building one for my 72 bow front I would just need to draw up some plans and I think I would need a router to make the bow shape? Or maybe a jig saw? I love the electrical compartment. I have one of my DJ light controllers that I could use like you did. And eventually I'd like to make a cabinet to hold my ATO container.

Think materials were around $125

Very nice set up and I see you've been doing it from the beginning. I myself am doing a set up like you have but only on a 90 gal and nothing looking like yours. Only time can say if I would up-grade to a bigger tank from that 90 gal. I have a 65 gal now and getting things together for the new 90 gal, for now I can only hope to have something like you have. Great job with what you've done but keep in mind, we look forward to seeing up-dated photos going forward. Thanks for sharing with us all.

Added an ats and I am changing the lighting on my tank to halides. I feel even with the t5s that the tank always looks purple. Hopefully I will like the halides better.

Just straight halides? Or supplementing with something?

3x250w halides and 2 vho. Will probably add led strips for blue pop

Man looking at these old pic hurts. I lost a ton of sps moving to the new house. Tank is just about ready to try some new additions to see how they do.
