Hey Guys my name is Rob and i have been into reefing for a little over 3 years.
I first started with a 20g with HOB one month later i got a 24g nano cube, 6 months later i got a 60g. After that i upgraded a couple more times to a 100g,125,180g and now currently a 225g.
This plan started off about 6 months ago. i started getting everything ready.
first this tank belonged to a fellow reefer. It's a 72L x30W x 24W Front Star fire front. Well the day i was going to pick up the tank from the guy the guys bringing it down from the 2nd floor cracked the tank on the front side and left side. So instead of junking the tank i decided to take it and recondition it. I got the front replace with new Star fire and the left with regular Glass. And since i was at it i got the whole tank stripped and resiliconed with black silicone.
My current Equipment list is as follows:
225g Visio Front Star Fire tank (corner dual 1.5 drains and dual 3/4 inch returns)
Custom sump 72g Refuge/Return/Skimmer
Bubble Master 250
72' Aquamedic 3 x 250w with 4 x 39w actinics (Phoenix 14k DE)
Reef Keeper Elite with moon controller
JBJ Auto Top off
300w Marineland Heater
Tunze Power heads
250 pounds of Fiji LR
40 pounds of Tonga Brank
30 pounds of Marshall Island
Corals are LPS and SPS
Fish list:
1 Vlamingi tang (6 inches long)
1 Sohal Tang (6 inches Long)
1 Yellow Tang (4 inches long)
1 Blue Hippo Tang (4.5 inches long)
1 Red sea Sail fin Tang (5 inches long)
1 Clarkii Clown
2 False percs
1 Magenta
5 Green Chromis
1 Yellow tail damsel
2 devil Damsel
Here are the pics of the broken tank:
