Pics of my 180 gallon build

Rate this Entry
I have been neglecting my build thread on here because I have been so busy! First with the winter season making my business pick up, then MACNA (WHICH RULED!!!), then family reunions and all kinds of crazy nonesense. Unfortunately, this also means that I have been neglecting my 180 gallons build . But the last two nights have been filled with work and setting the tank up. Here are some photos of the tank with my home built canopy which still needs painted and doors I know(lol) along with the installation of the metal halide reflectors and two 6 foot full actinic reef brights for supplementation haha so its just to show overall height. Also showing my custom made sump which contains two large filter socks, and about 3 feet of refugium space Protein Skimmer, Grotech Doser, GFO reactor, and c1hiller will all be added later along with a few other pieces of equiptment. It is still is ways away from being able to get it wet but it is coming finally!

    That's because there isnt any in the tank lol it'll probably be the middle of November start of December till the tank is up and running the way things are going.

    Looking good Blake. Can't wait to see the finished pics. Is it a rimless tank?

    It is not it is a standard 180 gallon I was not able to aquire what I truly wanted with the rimless tanks with my budget so a standard 180 was the best way to go for me i believe.
