Dave's 120 Custom Starphire Reef Setup
My custom tank setup…
Hey folks, I have been a stalker on this site for about 1.5 years and it is time to post some pics of my setup. My tank is nice and stable so I am finally ready to start cramming it with coral in the next month. I suck with my camera so you will have to forgive some of the pictures. I moved into this house in August and had some plumbing put in that allowed for a fish room in the basement. Albert from Golds helped me (well, more then helped…) with the plumbing (big thanks). Here's what I have: Tank: 48x20x28 - 3 side Starphire custom tank with a cabinet made by the home builder to match. Tank has a built in herbie overflow (runs totally silent). 2 tunze 6100’s on a multicontroler. Very typical rock wall aquascaping which I would love to redo in the future… Sump: 60x24x24 – 3 areas – 1 for equipment, 1 for live rock, and 1 for my sea horse’s, pipefish and slow swimmers. Equipment: Bubble Master Skimmer, ATO top off, 48” Solaris H lights, Iwaki 70rt pump, 2-6100 tunze’s, multicontroler, 2 el’cheapo heaters. I have too many fish, but I can’t help myself (tang overcrowding police need not continue in this thread). I actually tried to get a few of my least favorite fish out only to be outsmarted by them. This tank is actually the product of 2 tanks combined into 1. My original 78g bowfront from my old house, and a guy who I met at a local fish store who offered his entire setup to me for a fraction of what he put into it. So have a look….   Tank is in the middle of my main floor so I really want it to look good in the future:     The Fish room in the basement:    It's been fun.... now I just have to get of a whole bunch of corals.

Looks awesome!...Welcome to the board. Albert knows what he's doing, so it's no surprise that this turned out so good.
Do you have pictures from the actual build?
