Wanted to show the transformation and get feedback of my tank build.
Current tank is a 220g tank built in 2004 that I drilled in 2011. I was a novice, so my handyman and I built a wooden stand that we didn't make sure was even with a piece of plain not treated plywood under the tank. With the help of the bulkheads that I couldn't stop from having a slow leak that plywood started to disentigrate over the years, causing the tank to lean slightly but more over the years. In August I decided to stop gambling with the hundreds of gallons and get a new tank. Re-seaming the old tank wasn't something I was interested in doing because it is almost 20 years old to keep it I would have to re-seam it.
Tank will be a mixed reef. No idea what fish or corals. I do have a purple tang, royal gramma, sunset dotty back and Atlantic blue tang in temp tank
Ordered the tank on August 15th. Dimensions are 72x30x31 with star fire on front and sides. Tank will be in wall, with 3 sides showing.
Here is equipment list:
Bashsea sump 48x18
Lifegard UV
Icecap turf scrubber
Avast Ozone
Avast Plank feeder
Jerboa DC15000 return pump
3 MP60
3 Neptune skylights
Neptune controller
Simplicity 320 skimmer
