On 27 November I picked up a new to me very used 180 gallon off the old Facebook market.
This is what it looked like when i showed up.
It came with the pine stand from aqueon. This will be the second thing to go. Sand being the first.
I am going to build a taller stand with some small upgrades like actual nails or screws instead of staples.
I plan on making the stand have a side cabinet to act as the control board and the other side of the tank will hold other equipment.
The back of the tank is drilled so I am also going to build an overflow box because the drain holes are 14 inches apart. I will put a bean animal overflow box on it.
I have 2 kissel 360 tuna blues and 2 black box led lights, Aquamaxx DFC-120 skimmer (not rated for a big tank), 3 Sicce XStream SDC Powerheads and 2 Sicce Voyager nano (if needed), 2 Syncra SDC pumps, 1 Syncra Silent 4.0 Pump (backup). I do have a 40w UV filter as well. Going with blue and red PVC with the schedule 80 unions and gate valve.
I want to make this a mix reef with a few nice SPS and LPS with a yellow tang a few clown but not sure what else to stock just yet.
