Hey guys and gals.
My first build thread will be here I guess.
I'm on another site, same name, but I never did a build there cuz, well, the system was already built. I always had intentions to do a build thread if it was from the start. But since I'm new to this site and was asked to throw up some pictures, I guess we're going to start in the middle. Well, until I can upgrade this bad boy. That'll be lots of fun. That's why this is in the middle, just not done, I guess in a way it'll never be done.
I have been reefing since the early 90s. My first system was a disaster. Bought it from a friend of mine who worked at a pet store. Back then I don't think anybody really knew a whole lot and this system was a 54 front hex wet-dry filter. Bleached Rock, Powder Blue Tang, lionfish, anenome, all under regular t12's. Needless to say just about everything died unless it was brought to a lfs.
Then I moved to a house and the next system was 100 gallon 5 ft that got upgraded to a 90 gallon beef ready and that system up and running for a good while. It got broken down in 2008 and I really just recently got back in 2014.
So now my current tank is a 75 gallon refried with a 50 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank in the basement as a sump. It's got an apex, reefbreeder lights, sicce syncra 9.0 return pump.
Auto top off is by tunze with an auto ro/di top off programmed in the Apex. I do a 1 gallon a day water change Monday thru Friday.
Here are some pics of the main display.
