Here are a few pictures from my tank setup.

Thanks to some very great help from many members on this site, I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track.

Here's the tank. Tank's an all glass custom size. Initially I wanted to go with a 24" cube, but then decided on this, since there wasn't a price difference between the two .

Tank size is 36w X 24d X 24h. gives me about 90 g. I went with this size cause I like the added height and depth the tank has.

Sand I used has a grain of .5 - 1.5

The sump/fuge is a 37 gallons, 24w x 20d x 18h.
center area will be used as a fuge, I put about 7" of sand.



Thats as far as I've gotten so far . The hood is almost ready, RO unit should be coming in this week. I'll update as the build progresses.


By the way, I personally annoyed "reefscape" on every step in this build, with multiple questions. Thanks dude!! lol...

Wonderful job. Pays to think it through huh?


man, does it ever !! Best advice I can give anyone, think it through.. once you've figured it all out, think it through again, then, discuss it, iron out any flaws, and only then, start buying!!

Thanks, Grins. :)
