I was given a 265 with stand, canopy, etc. I don't need another full blown reef tank (I have a 240).
So the decision was made to set it up as an aggressive tank.
(I know I want a clown trigger and a snowflake moray but am taking suggestions on the rest.)
I believe the sump that was being used was undersized so I am going to use a 55 or 75 (or possibly bigger) gallon tank and make a sump. The tank has a Shadow overflow which I don't like. I prefer fijicube overflows so I am going to see if there is something Will and I can come up with to utilize the two holes that were drilled for the shadow and sell it to fund the fijicube overflow.
There won't be a ton of equipment thrown at this tank. A couple wavemakers, a good skimmer and a carbon reactor. I will have about 200 or so pounds of well cured live rock by the time its done.
The biggest project will be sanding and painting the stand. It's stained oak which my wife and I agree has to go!
This is the stand and canopy:
It's well build and in great shape so just cosmetic changes.
