I know I will get BS for posting a tank this size, but I would not have been able to do it without help from the people in the nano reef chat room. Special thanks to Fant. :)

 

Oceanic 58 Gallon Reef Ready (36½ x 18½ x 21½) w/stand

All-Glass 20 Gallon sump/refigium

2x 150w Ebo-Jagger Heaters

MAG 700 Return Pump

Maxi-Jet 900

All display tank lights in custom hood

2x 65w Custom Sea Life PC Ballast running 10,000k bulbs

2x 30w NO's running 03 Actinic Bulbs

20w NO for the refigium (I belive I will upgrade to a 32w PC)

150lbs Caribsea Special Grade Reef Sand

60lbs Gulf Rock

 

I think thats just about everything...

aww...all my bio teacher had was a crappy 29g freshwater with fake plants, neons, and angelfish that got ich. I offered to make it into a reef or a planted angelfish tank but she didn't want to spend the money.

at my school they have a marine biology dept. and they have a cold water tank so they collect stuff locally....i guess they have a permit or something...

I have them in agreement to buy me bulbs and other little things here and there...

Very nice, I am working on my AP Bio teacher. If we can get a grant then we can set the tank up... Got my fingers crossed.

That's a beautiful tank. I want one! I wish I had a tank like that in school....the closest thing I got was a very chilled and dark 60gal which we used to hatch salmon eggs and raise the fry.
