280g Mixed Reef

[xtreme]

Well I figure I should finally get around to doing a tank journal. Unfortunately, it won't have the detail of some of the other great build threads here. My 280g has been running for almost four months now. The majority of the livestock came from my 125g which was established for a year and a half before this upgrade happened. Thanks to Canreef, the 125g which was my first saltwater tank was a great success. A year and a half after getting the saltwater addiction it was time for an upgrade.

I picked up the tank used off of a fellow canreefer and I must say without those suction cups I don't think the tank would have made it home in one piece.



Made it through the door


Tipped it down the stairs


and into the basement


Here is the stand that I slapped together and I have still yet to finish it


and the sump on wheels waiting for its resting place
