Hello!
Im a little early on this but want to get a head start. This is basically a continuation of the short saga of my last build that I didn’t document well, want to try again.
I am a big last of us video game fan and also a fan of the new show, did this inspire the build? No but why not.
Tess (Jeweled Moray) and Joel (Volitan Lionfish) have grown quite quickly and are in need of more space. I have also dreamed of a 300+ tank and I have near future plans to begin year long travel trips which will require leaving the hobby. This will be my last go for quite a while, hoping for 5-7 years with this tank.
Aquarium-
Midwest Custom Aquariums 72” x 47” x 25” 3/4” acrylic , external overflow, peninsula style. 360 gallons I am calling it for ease.
Stand-
Framing Tech 20/80 extrusion aluminum.
Lighting-
2x 8 bulb T5, 50/50 Blue plus/6500k
6x Smatfarm LED, for dimming purposes only
Skimmer-
RO Regal 300INT
Currently using Lifereef but too loud
Return-
2x Jebao dcp8000
2x 40 Watt UV, one on each return
Sump-
150 gallon aquarium (tank being replaced)
Going to try mangroves in first half of sump.
Only photo for now is stand schematic , will document how FramingTech works.

Build Thread - Tess and Friends(s) 130
Starting a new build! I have been playing around with the idea of a new custom peninsula tank to make a "room" in my small apartment. Was looking into doing a larger tank for my corals. I then realized that Tess, my beloved Jeweled Moray, is getting a little large for her tank. Thus the idea...
