Hello my fellow SPS friends, getting back in the SPS game with a new build. Next weekend I will travel to St. Pete to pick up a tank, stand, skimmer, lights, rock, pumps, all done in a deal from a previous owner. If you know me, I can be impatient, but for this "build" I am going to take the time to ensure everything is done proper. The stand appears well built, but likely I will refinish. Fortunately I have a spare room to do all the work necessary for cleaning, building, refinishing, etc. Please follow along and enjoy this project come to life
Here are some details so far of what's included.
1. 60 gallon rimless custom peninsula design. 36" long, 20" tall, 20" wide. Including stand and sump. Details unclear on sump and stand until arrival.
2. I-tech 100 protein skimmer. The skimmer could sell individually for what I got system for, lol. If you know about this skimmer, you know how lucky I was to even score it. I know, because this will be my second time owning one.
3. Geissemann Verve LED x2. Seems overkill, but just for fun, I will use them with a Kessil a360we in the middle of the two
4. Return pump, and 2 mp40's, but still need to buy wetsides.
5. Looks to be a about 50+ lbs of cycled live rock
6. Quarter size Jaw Breaker shroom for the drive, lol, won't be in this tank though, lol.
I am sure the guy is going to toss in more stuff, but these are my current details. I already have several acros frags, donated from a buddies reef, waiting patiently. This will be a mainly acro tank, I have LPS mixed reef already. So NOTHING but SPS More to come!
Cheers,
