New 65 gallon reef

[mattshell81]

Hey everyone. I wanted to start a build thread to show the progression of my 65g reef I just started up. It was an upgrade from my 14 gallon biocube i habe been running for the last 3 years and that tank was an upgrade from a 55 which was an upgrafe from my very first 40 gallon reef tank I started 8 years ago.

This tank is a first for me in a lot of ways because it's the first time I had full freedom picking a tank and parts since im out of school now, living in my own house and have more money to put into a tank.

Here's a picture for now. I'll be sure to get back on later with a detailed list about the startup and all the equipment.

I never really posted an update here so I figured I would make an update finally. The tank did good its first year had some clownfish babies and then when my 6 month old clowns I raised died I kind of fell out of the hobby for a bit and didn't keep up with the tank. These past few months the tank has really bounced back and I have even started to add some sps.

Some different spots around the tank with the flow off for feeding.
