Hello everyone, I started my tank 1 year ago, and I procrastinated on making a build thread. Now I am going to do it.
Here is a picture of the tank: Updated February 2024
Part 1: The setup:
12/26/19 to 1/27/20
My tank is a 75-gallon Marineland overflow:
With a metal stand that I picked up at my LFS.
For the sump, I got the eshopps r-100 sump

The light is just a simple reno light strip with blue and white LEDs.

For the rocks I got 70 lbs. of BRS reef saver dry live rock, the package that It came in was full of peanuts.

For the aquascape I made a tower in the center on purpose, so when I got my 2 hydra 32s the light would intersect in the center creating a high-par hotspot for SPS (and don't worry I got a par meter and measured to make sure).
When I liked the look of this aquascape I put the rest of the rubble rocks back down in the refugium section.
Next post: The cycle
