I’ve been without tanks for almost a year now while my house was being remodeled. I went through withdrawal at first, then got used to it. Now I have my new tank cycling and I’m excited about getting going again.
The tank was purchased through my LFS, Barrier Reef Aquariums in Renton Washington, and was built by Planet Aquariums. It’s an 8’ x 30” x 30” (375ish gallons) peninsula tank with low iron glass on a steel stand. The sump was built by a friend of mine who does amazing acrylic work. A couple of other friends will be building a canopy and magnetic panels to cover the steel frame.
Equipment
- Apex
- Reef Octopus Varios return pump
- Reef Octopus Diablo 300EXT skimmer with Varios pump and a Varios feed pump
- Reef Octopus ozone reactor with Sicce feed pump
- Poseidon 200 ozone generator and BRS jumbo air dryer
- 2 x 500 watt Finnex heaters
- Avast Marine Spyglass reactor
- 3 x Kessil AP700 LED light fixtures
It’ll be a mixed reef tank with lot of fish, heavy on wrasses.
