WV Reefer Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Ok, time to make with the details: This tank was purchased about two years ago from Glass Cages as an upgrade on my 75 gallon tank that had to be moved due to house renovations. The tank is 75 gallons, made of 1/2" glass and is 48" x 18" x 21". I found a gentleman on ETSY that builds furniture and had him build me a custom stand. I love stands that have a top that overhangs the body and I also wanted a taller than average stand. The stand measures 39" tall x 23" deep x 53" wide. It has doors all the way around for easy accessibility. Here is a shot of before I began tearing it down: After I started my 12 Gallon Long Reef, I knew the planted tank would have to go! I made myself wait until my reef made it to the one year mark before I began to transition this tank. The plan at this time is that there is no plan. Not a real one anyway. I want to get the tank up and running and get a feel for how it runs while I work on the scape and stocking plans. I figure it will end up being a mixed reef so that I can have a little of everything. I want to run it dirty until I get a feel for this volume of water but I did buy a hob skimmer to experiment with so that I can keep all stocking options open. Equipment/Materials: 80lbs CaribSea Fiji Pink Live Sand 75lbs BRS Pukani Dry Rock VorTech MP40wqd Reef Octopus HOB Classic 2000 Aqueon Pro 200 Heater x 2 Using existing 48" Aquaticlife T5HO Quad fixture with ATI bulbs- 3 54w Blue Plus and 1 54w Purple Plus 8 Quote Link to comment

I asked for a few large pieces and BRS did me proud. 3 Quote Link to comment
