I currently have a 48 x 24 x 17" tall aquarium, I am breaking down the tank and going with another custom tank, this is being made my Planet Aquariums. I like the shallow tanks, so I am going for another one. This tank will be a mixed reef with mainly zoas...

I have started making my stand now, It will be made up of 2 x 6's and 2 x 4's. SKinned in Oak plywood, and stained a Cherry color

Equipment list:

Lighting: 1 Ecotech radion gen 3 pro (already have it)
Skimmer: RLSS R6-I (Already own it)
Flow- I current have 2 tunze 6095's, and am deciding between them and 2 mp10W Es
return pump- Tunze silence 1073.040(Already own it)
sump- I am looking for a 20L right now

I ordered 50# of Marco rocks that are in a trashcan now cycling even though they say it isnt necessary.

This will all be controlled via my Neptune Apex


I will try to update this as I go along. I tend to forget though!
 
Here is the tank sitting on the stand.. Got a few things left to finish, and then it will be up and running, hopefully by end of next week!
