50 gallon coral Flat build

[serecheneric]

Received my boom acro box, was super nervous when the FedEx guy handed me a box that was barely holding together from severely getting beat up and was soaked so bad I didn't even need anything to open it and just fell right apart, don't even know how he found where the box was supposed to go to since the packing slip was so soaked that all the ink bleed and all you could see was my name.
That being said I was so happy when I opened the box, everything packed really well and double bagged and everything still had water! I have no clue where all the moisture came from that destroyed the box since I could only see where maybe a couple bags had leaked into the second bag. Must have been caught in a storm in transit.
Everything looking happy and polyps already out.

Super happy with the choices he sent me. Also surprised at the size, the smallest of the bunch is around an inch but most were 1.5-2 inches!

Added a sandbox for my Melanurus Wrasse I plan to move over to this tank.

I like the sandbox idea!!

 

[serecheneric]

Thanks you, stole the idea from other people so not my own idea. My Melanurus doesn't go in the sand much at all besides to sleep so figured I'd make him a nice place to bed down and the container came with a lid so any time I want to change out the live sand I'll just put the lid on jt to pull it out to replace it.

Finally recieved the light bars last night!

Added a Tomini tang, tank is starting to get a nice variety of coral.

 

[serecheneric]

Added an uv sterilizer just as a preventative since starting to get a bit of an ugly stage

Tank all ready to recieve 3 more orders over the next two days! Over the last 12 years of reefing and 23 years of keeping fish I've come to realize, some days can seem like Christmas and others can feel like you were just contacted by the IRS hahaha... just trying to enjoy these Christmasesk days!

This is from about 3 weeks ago before I added some LPS to the sump section, crazy growth keeping PH low at 8.29 on a bad day to 8.45 on a regular high day. Thinking about Plumbing in a secondary tank for just LPS, only time will tell, as well as whatever sticks out to me at upcoming shows will also be the determining factor on what happens next.

[MoshJosh]

Awesome build, love how organized and neat it looks while still being DIY!

Did you drill the overflow and bulkhead yourself?

 

[serecheneric]

Yeah, the Eshoppes overflow comes with the bit and drill template, makes it pretty simple.
