My First tank build 110g oceanic RR

[Treebeard512]

i just wanted to start this post see what people think. This is the first time I have ever owned any type of Aquarium but this is what i got so far.

i know it’s cloudy.. i started too add water yesterday. Tomorrow my last batch of saltwater should be done and i’ll start my cycling process using Fritz 900 and Algea Barns nitrocycle.

48x18x26.. it’s deeper then i would like now that i have done a lot more research after buying it. but it’s still cool being an larger oceanic

I asked because I recently got a 110g 4 footer but it's 48x18x 30 and I think it's a older oceanic 1/2 glass. I'm still planning out a aqua scape for such a tall tank. I'm going with a fowlr.

mine is probably closer to 30 to the top of the rim. i really want a mixed reef but being my first time i probably start with LPS dominate tank till i figure out the PAR on the cheap black box from Amazon or upgrade my lights

Nice. I’m thinking of getting my first tank as well. I have always wanted to do a reef tank with critters . Do you have it plumbed? Does it “have “ to be plumbed. I live in a rental and can’t hardline the tank. Should I just not get one?

have i it plumbed to my sump. under the tank for filtration. what do you mean plumbed? if you mean for like an auto water no i don’t have it plumbed for that.

I thought the tank needed to be hard lined into the house plumbing. Thankfully that was not a justified fear.

no i have an RODI system that i use to filter my house water to make pure or low TDS water to use for making Salt water. i use brute trash cans for RODI water and saltwater storage. you can plumb the RODI system but you don’t have to. mine is connected to my sink faucet in my 1/2 bath.

Thanks for the reply. I did some more digging and watched a ton of vids. My RODI came by ups yesterday. Still waiting for the tank to ship.
