A couple people mentioned posting a build thread so thought I'd give it a go.
So when we moved in to our new house i knew I wanted to go big with my next tank after years of having multiple smaller ones cluttering up our living space. So when we moved in and I looked at the garage I immediately knew what i wanted to do.
i knew going big would mean big money lol in glass alone, so someone gave me the idea of using a grp koi pond, so that's what i did!
I'm glad I did!!
Its nowhere near where I'd like it to be but it's getting there! And getting to the point you see now has been crazy to say the least.
I've had probably 3 big floods and lost thousands of litres of water and had to spend hundreds of pounds multiple times because I use natural sea water so when it's gone I need to have it delivered to refill it
Some equipment
Lighting is;
14x AI Blade grows
1x Orphek amazonas
1x kessil a500x
Flow is;
6x maxpect gyre ce 350
2x jecod 20000lph pumps
Return pump is;
Ecotech Vectra L2
Skimmer is;
Deltec tc3000 ext
I have 110w uv
I use ozone 24/7
And my testing is managed by the mastertronic.
I'm not to sure what else I can say but you can see some progress pictures below! Il be sure to update as I go. Plenty more coral to add.
