Figured i would start a little build thread. Specs:
Tank: Deep Blue 80 gallon rimless
Sump: 40 gallon acrylic and 100 gallon stock tank
Filtration: MRC MR2 Skimmer, lots of liveish rock, GFO and cheato
Flow: Gyre and Ecodrift
Lighting: 2 x AI Hydra 26 + 4 T5 (2 coral plus and 2 Aquablue special) Thinking of swapping out for 2 Blue +
Return: Iwaki something
About 1000lbs sitting on 4 garage shelf brackets, I'm just happy it hasn't collapsed. Little worried about the light falling into the tank as well. fingers crossed.
Had some hair algae for a bit, scrubbed rocks and have been fortunate that it has not returned. Hopefully stays this way. Shooting for a mixed reef with both SPS and LPS, i know its tough to keep both truly happy in the same tank. So far a lot of LPS. 5 fish, hoping to add at least 6-7 more. It's almost 200 gallons of water so barring any territory/space issues i should be able to keep the water clean with that many fish.
