Hi guys,
Well here goes my first venture into the large format tank. I have always been an aio person but i have always loved the larger fish i could never keep in a tank that small. Go back to last October and i bought a used reefer 250 from my lfs that was too good of a deal to pass up. After a few months i realized i still couldn’t have quite the fish load i wanted, i disliked my aqua scape, and i hated the small format sump everything was so cramped together. I threw a couple frags in the tank and really only one random torch thrived because i was more interested in my two nano tanks. Now full circle i found these aqua Japan tanks at an LFS in az and thought the price is too good to be true for a 180 gallon tank, stand, and sump. I decided to can my reefer 250 and go all in on this bad boy. I’ve never started a build thread from scratch so I’m looking forward to truly documenting my journey with this tank.
Tank Dimensions: 72x24x24 rimless with a euro brace
Sump: I’m going to stick with the stock sump for now until i feel that my reefing skill has out performed the sump rather then go all out for some fancy sump i honestly have no clue how to take advantage of.
Equipment List:
4 Hydra 32
1 jebao cross flow 70 i had never used in the reefer 250
