Here the start of a new build, I have been on Reef2reef for a few years and have had a few tanks. Here’s the link to my old thread.

Build Thread - 80 gallon rimless build

I started with a 10 gallon that I had for a year, moved up to a 40breeder for a few years with a cpr backpack skimmer and a power filter, and a 250w halide pendant. Than I got a 65gallon for 2 years with a prestige gamma (wich is up for sale) and sump.(love the simplicity because it hides...

My tanks been up and running for a few months. I put maybe an inch of my live sand on the bottom of the tank, and used live rock that I had also. Here’s what it looks like now.

Got my clownfish, they were packed very nicely, and after acclimation they went into the tank. They were already eating within 4 hours of being out of the bag. Big thanks to Pacific Eastern Aquaculture!
Heres a pic of them(one day I’ll get better at figuring out how to edit my pics)
