new 180 build

[aggiegrad2012]

Hey guys new to the forum but I creep on it all the tims, lots of great info and everyone is so nice and friendly!

Here is my new tank that I got for a steal. I'm planning on doing an sps dominated tank but I like all corals so it will have a little of everything. I'm going to run 3 Hydra 52 HD'S, and maybe a few supplemental T5's unless someone can convince me otherwise. I'm going to stick mainly to inverts and small fish, maybe a few ventralis anthias if I can find any. Fortunately I work for an aquarium instalation and maintenance company so I can get all my products at wholesale.

let me know what you think! Hopefully I can get it plumbed this week, then take it home to fit it on the wall. Oh and black vinyl will be going on the back this afternoon.

Welcome tk R2R! Sounds like a good tank.

What are you going to put far as corals n livestock ?

The 180 is my wish tank, but my Florida cracker house was built in 1913 & is set on piers, the floor would never carry all that weight

Haven't hammered out my livestock list yet. Most fish I am interested in are the nano type, kinda odd in a 180. In a clients tank of mine he has no fish over what I would consider "nano" size and it's a 500 gallon.

Oh here is the tank with black vinyl, not much of a difference with pictures but it looks good in person.
