so i figured i would start a build thread 11 years after my tank has been running


got a 125 gallon from craigslist.... found out that it was tempered glass and it couldn't be drilled, so i got an Eshoppes HOB overflow...

sump is a 40 breeder

stand made out of 2x4's and oak plywood
mag12 return pump
2 tunze 6055's.... tank originally had 2 korialia's in it
auto topoff direct from RO/DI on a solenoid

i found some old pics of the stand build

about 3 years ago i had a kalkwasser accident and nuked the tank.... killed almost everything except my green star polyps and mellon mushrooms....

i let them take over for a couple of years, and about the middle of last year got my interest back up in reefing when i closed my business and had more free time because i wasn't working 2 jobs..

now getting the tank back in shape, i just installed a Kessil H380 for my fuge, and got a new pump for my reef octopus 150 skimmer and an apex classic to control everything
