My 150 Tall tank build

[laskopyre]

It's been awhile, but I finally got around to setting up the 150 I bought a few months ago. It is 4' long, 2' wide, and 3' high. The back wall had a built in rock wall from the previous owner. He didn't have it running long before he moved. So here is the equipment:

150 Gallon High
40 Gallon long sump baffled

2 MP40W ES Vortech's
Vertex Alpha Royal 200 cone skimmer with Avast Marine Swabbie and Davie Jones Locker
BioPellet reactor
TLF 550 Reactor for GFO
Tunze Osmolator
2-60W LED Aquawasher fixtures (about 4' long)
4 bulb T5 Tech Lighting fixture
Reef Keeper Light w/moonlight module (red)

Fish
1-orange shoulder tangs 3-3.5"
1-kole tang 3"
1-convict tang 5"

fish on order
Pair of Crosshatch Triggerfish
Pair of Flame Wrasses

Tank is up and running. I will eventually be moving my SPS collection into the tank. Just have to get it all stable first. The skimmer is big enough to handle the bio load. The tangs are all small, except for the convict. Pictures to follow.​

I love the rock wall, make sure your vortechs stir that black sand, I have had it become cement without water flow, some nassarius snails will do the trick as well.

Looking good and I like the black sand a lot!

Thanks! I do have nassarius snails, cerith snails (big and small), and they have been stirring it up. The rock wall has a couple caves, so the fish can swim in and out.
