This is my custom-made 6ft 70 gallon I found second-hand. I love how long and shallow it is! This is 1 of 4 marine/reef tanks I currently have along with 3 freshwater.

I made the stand myself and I found the perfect sump to fit in it second-hand as well, a very narrow space.
I drilled the tank and added the eshopps overflow and dual returns.

Equipment:
3 AI 32HDs
Current USA Return
Apex Pro with additional FMM
Apex Flow Sensor
Aqua 15W UV inline
Octo Skimmer
10 Gallon Trigger ATO

Current Livestock:
2 midnight clowns
1 blue hippo tang
1 Yellow Watchman Goby paired with a Pistol Shrimp
1 Mandrin
1 Cleaner Shrimp
1 Lawnmower Blenny
1 Sexy shrimp
3 Rockflower Nems
1 Green Clown Goby
2 Conches
1 Emerald Crab
Random Snails & hermits

Very cool! What're your future stocking plans?
 
Great looking tank!! Crazy you got that second hand!

Thanks! Not much planned right now, but I will stick with smaller peaceful tank mates though.

I just lost my yellow tang unfortunately, no trace of him anywhere!

It's crazy how a fish can disappear without a trace. I've had it happen a few times over the decades.
