150 Tank Journal/Build Finally!!!

[FishingGoalie]

Finally my tank is close to being done.

A few weeks ago my exams finished and i had a exam break(3 weeks) so i decided it would be a good time to do an upgrade. I currently am running a Biocube 29 with T5Ho lights, media basket, and skimmer. I am only 15 years old so its always been my dream to get a saltwater aquarium(started when i started diving when i was 8). But my dad never gave in until september, my mom has always been all for a saltwater tank. I pay for almost everything my self as i have a summer job working at a marina in manitoba where my cottage is.(i was born in manitoba and still have most family out there) I also shovel our neighbours driveways. I am also parent sponsored for a few things.


any ways on to the tank:
150 Gallons
52x28x24h
Full starfire with start fire euro brace
Back Left corner overflow as it will be in the corner of our basement
36" stand height
ATI power module hybrid lights 8 bulb 48" fixture
sump(Unsure of size as dave@concept designed it for easy water changes and a frag tank section)
Vertex Omega 150 skimmer
2 TLF reactors Carbon and GFO
2 WP40s
1 MP10 from existing Biocube
Mag 12 return pump
Also a APEX which my parents are paying for as we travel quite often
All ordered from Concept in Calgary
