Well thought I’d share a quick video of my 560 gallon. This is a tank that I made myself. It’s made from 1” thick acrylic. It measure 120” long 38.5” deep and 29” tall. This is it at the 2 1/2 month mark since filling it. I use some good live rock and some dry rock from shut down systems. I’ll share more later about the set up. Here’s a vid I shot last night.

Tank is looking great. What are you using for flow?

Thanks guys! Just the 2 power heads on each side, I think they are aw20 , and there’s a jecod dc18000 feeding the 2 returns that are 1.5” right from the pump pushing water into the back to drive all the Detrius out from the rock pile. I may add a few more power heads later as I get more sps.

Here’s a pic of my cheato grow out. I leave the lights on 24/7. I’ve never had such healthy looking cheato before and I’ve always had it but always did 16 hours max lights per day. But it’s the first time using good quality grow lights too. They are 100 watt from the wall leds off amazon. The area is 36x30x10” deep. The sump for this tank is 72x30x22
