It took nearly two years before finally getting this tank setup, but I finally got it up and running. Not completed, just filled with water and everything has been provided the stuff it needs to thrive. This summer I plan on building a new stand and canopy for it. I wasn't happy with the way my canopy ended up so I didn't bother staining it. It's just a wooden box that holds the lights. The stand is just an AGA pine stand. There's not enough room under the tank for a large enough sump and it's not easily accessible.
Equipment:
BB 75g AGA tank drilled with internal overflow
250w XM 10k halides on IC ballasts
T5 actinics
Octo TS150 needlewheel skimmer (mesh and gate valve modded)
20g sump w/ external Eheim 1260 return pump
Vortech MP40 running full speed on reefcrest mode
2 MJ 1600 mod pumps for additional detrius stirring in back
