Well folks, it’s time for another tank. After a long 4mo (sarcasm) getting the 10 gallon all lined out. Ive decided to go full size.
I’ve never documented a new tank build before but I suspect starting from scratch and documenting the project will be fun.
Step one: select a tank.
I wanted something big enough to accommodate most reef safe fish, but not so big it swallows the room. I also wanted tank maintenance to be manageable. Not intimidating. I researched the all in one tanks and nearly bought one but deep down I know I want more flexibility and customization. So (drum roll please)....I selected a 65 gallon tank built by Planet Aquariums. Included a Tideline Overflow. Just got the tank today.
Gonna build a custom stand for it soon. More to come...feedback and/or questions at anytime. Enjoy!!
