Andrew's 95 Gallon build
 

Hey guys so i recently got myself a new 95 gallon, 95-100 gallons around there it measured out. Got it home and set up.

Its running a center overflow 2 holes, 1.5" overflow, 1" return, im running a durso for the overflow and a quiet one 3000 for return.

The tank is 49" long with euro braced length sides so running length wise it has .5" euro brace.

A list of equipment i will be using is as follows
95gallon custom center overflow
durso overflow 1.5"
quiet one 3000 return
stealth heater
ASM g-2 skimmer
Sea star 33g sump with bulkhead for either closed loop or easy W/C
Koralia 3's
Tunze Wavebox?
Tunze flow?
Lights im thinking of going a 6x54w T5 fixture or Retro throwing it int he canopy or just running a fixture for a clean look.
Underneath im gonna run either a t5 fixture over the sump, Pc fixture or Mh fixture havent decided yet

Here are some pics of what i have so far.
