This tank has been up and running for quite a while but I thought I'd throw up a build thread at someone's suggestion anyway so I can get the badge and show it off.
To start it off, tank is a 20x20 Deep blue reef ready 35g tank.
Sump is a triton34 v2 from trigger
Return pump is an ecotech vetra m2
Tunze 3155 with 5g reservoir for ATO
For flow I have two mp10's and one of the VCA random flow nozzles on my return.
coralbox wifi dosing pump to dose alk and calc daily and mag when needed.
Coralbox d300+ skimmer in the sump
Fuge with about 15lb of live rock with chaeto running an ai prime 16 fuge for lighting on an opposite schedule as my tank
tank lighting is a radion xr15 g5 pro
There is about 20lb of live sand and 25lb of rock in the display.
I made the stand myself, it was my first woodworking project so it didnt come out perfect but its nothing a couple shims couldnt fix!
Without further ado, here are some pictures!
in the background you can see my original, neglected reef housing my clown which soon after moved into this tank.
Here you can see my bad paintjob on the middle panel!
paint job made worse by dripping more paint on it! but tank is finally on atleast
sump arrived
plumbing ugly, but done!
sump plumbing
filled up with freshwater for a leak test for a few days! luckily no leaks anywhere
