Figured I'd start a thread for my 180. Figure more a tank journal than a build thread but figured this is the place. Tank was set up early 2017. Was set up with a 180gal display and 75gal under tank sump. 2 32" reefbreeders photon v1's, 4 mp40's, mag 12 return, clip on fuge light, and asm4 skimmer.
I had let the tank mature with minimal livestock and only 1 or 2 zoas. Built a basement sump/fish room and had planned on letting it run with the frag tank to let some rock cook and mature in it for 4 months but after finding a piece of firewood in the sump most likely from my little sons, I decided to switch the dt to the basement sump sooner than wanted.
Then earlier this year we upgraded the lighting from the reefbreeders to 3 kessil ap700's and absolutely love them. Also started to add some coral from a few hobbyist and ffm. Moved one of the reefbreeders light to the frag tank.
Picked up a used mag18 to replace the mag12. Also picked up a used mp40 and added it to the dt. Went to Keep on reefing and picked up a black widow nem along with a couple frags and the wife won a bunch. Guy taking down his tank hooked me up with some fish.
