The ran out of room in my wife's tank build

SO MUCH ROOM IN THE SUMP, I'm running my calcium reactor in sump as it tends to leak on and off. I had it in a tray beside the old tank.

My wife told me that she likes the looks of it without doors because of how clean it looks

All I have left to do is build another rock structure on the right and tidy up some wires. With the external overflow I have enough room behind the tank that I was able to mount the apex system to the back of the stand as well as the ballasts. Ato is direct to the ro/di system so no more topping up an ro bucket

Eventually I might add gravel to the display as I'd like to add more wrasses to the tank

ATM I'm running a 250w hqi / 2x t5 fixture until I have a chance to grab a second maxspect razor

I plan on swapping the hk powerheads out for an mp40 or 2

Good looking setup, I was considering doing the same. Where do you keep your CO2 tank, on the side out of frame?

Ya is sits beside the stand

Water level with power off (or in this case feed mode on my apex), water leven in display drops 2.75" so I'll have to watch coral placement in the future


The chromis started hanging out with the new fish


5 cardinals, 3 species all with minor differences but they still stick together


My sad looking star, my yellow coris that had an eye problem but healed up fine and my weird copper band that won't eat food out of the water column but will wait for it to land on the rocks to eat it

So my wife gave me a list of what she wants today....

Liniatus wrasse
Chameleon tilefish
solarensis wrasse
Long nose Hawk fish
Fire fish
Bangaii cardinal pair
Fan fin shrimp goby with shrimp
Tribal Benny
Mandarin dragonet
Pair of Ora naked clowns


She has expensive taste and I won't put that many fish in the tank

Who needs a frag tank when you have a ton of room in your sump



Now all I need is an intake strainer on my return and I'll be able to put a rabbit fish in my sump

I'm gonna also build a fancy acrylic frag rack for the sump
