Red's 65 gallon

[red13]

Hi all, just wanted to share my build. But, first a bit of a backstory. A year ago or so I started a build on a 50 gallon, long story short, about two months into the build my family came home to a flooded house. The sewer line had backed up. The ta k had to come down, we lost alot of stuff and lived with my parents. But, God is good we had family and friends (and insurance) that helped us during a tough time. When we got settled again, I came across a 65 gallon, so I upgraded. Now for the fun stuff.
Tank
65 gallon acrylic 36x24x18, eurobraced
Sump
sea side aquatics, nothing fancy but gets the job done
Pumps
return- simplicity dc pump, circulation- mp10qd, jeboa rw15
Skimmer
eshopps sc120
lights
hamilton 6 bulb t5 36in, and aquatic life 2 bulb 24in t5 (untill I save enough for a 8 bulb ati).

The tank has been running since September, and finally working out all the kinks I hope. Its bare bottom, with a goal of SPS dominate. Dont have great pictures, all my camera money goes to feeding kids or the tank.

Just a quick update photo.

I also changed lights to an ATI sunpower 8 bulb, and started the dosing pumps. Its been rough getting the coral happy, but I think Im almost there.

Its been a long time since I updated. This year has been a struggle. My mom was diagnosed with brain cancer, so my free time has been helping the family. My tank has not done well as a result. A couple of weeks ago I had an opportunity to buy Marshall Island rocks, so I jumped on it. Now the tank has a new scape.
