My 29 gal reef

[phil_pl]

Four years ago I set out to build my "dream" system.
Here's where we are today.Tank was started 11/11/12, and is now in the process of being stocked.

The System consists of:

• 29gal Display
• Homemade Stand
• Eshoops RS200 sump; slightly modified for more space
• Reef Octopus: 200 Skimmer, Bio Pellet Reactor, and Carbon Reactor
• 2 Danner Mag 5 pumps. One for return and one for the reactors.
• Ecotech Vortech Mp10es
• Digital Aquatics ReefKeeper Lite Controller
• Glo 2x24" T5HO Light Fixture (planning to upgrade to LEDs in the future)
• BRS 75gpd 4 stage RO/DI

I custom built the stand and added some under cabinet lights to help illuminate things. This picture is prior to painting.

Wiring complete, pumps in place. The pumps are sitting on a support I made to hold the drain lines in place.

Here is the filtration system up and running, please excuse the wiring mess i haven't decided how I want to mount the controller yet.

I will be adding my two clowns any day now, I have to go pick them up from a friends house. They are my clowns from my very first SW tank, so I can't wait to get them back!!

Couldn't help but share these. These are pictures of our anemone Nemmers and his new friend our Clown Goby. This seemed very strange to me since I havent seen our goby out in open water ever,and I hadnt seen him at all in over a week

Thank you, they were a great pair but the goby (Hunter) is quite the nomad and has since moved on.

His current "home"

I was finally was able to get a clear close up of my brain coral, taken right before feeding
