My old 400 gallon system had two tanks connected to the same sump. One of the tanks was the 300 gallon and the second one was a 110 gallon. About 6 months ago I realized that the 110 was leaking and I had to deal with that.

In the 110 I had a Emperor Angel and a Yellow Tang that I could not add to the 300. As you can see in the link bellow the 300 already has 4 Zebrastoma tangs (2 purple and 2 yellow) so I could not just add a new one. The 300 also has zoas, a Duncan, and a Torch that I did not wanted the Emperor Angel to eat. So, I decided to build a new system for them.

The tank is a 180 (72x24x24).

Here a picture of the tank right after delivery at the LPS.

Here a couple of pictures of the stand when I was almost done building them:

Just kidding. This tank is connected to a remote sump that is also used by the frag tank (48x48x12):

Still not great, but will do for now: a picture of the Goldflake Angel in the quarantine tank.
