Hey Reef2Reef!
Been considering a build thread but just never had the time...until now! I'm a pediatric resident physician so I have VERY little free time but I use the tanks and care to decompress when im not taking care of the kids! Very therapeutic!
Ive been in the hobby my whole life (thanks to a tank friendly family upbringing). I currently have 4 Reef Tanks, 1 Cichlid Tank, and 2 empty salt tanks I use for quarantine.
I started my first full reef custom build in 2019 after acquiring the tank at Reefapaloosa. I had a couple small reef tanks before but this was the first full regalia set up! I went back and pulled alot of the images to bring yall up to speed and will continue to document the progress!
Thanks for tuning in and hope you enjoy the ride on this custom build and its progress up till now and beyond!!
