![]() System in a nutshell: 50 Gallon SPS tank. Possibly corals only
Basic system outline: 50 gallon display tank: - 36X18X18 Rimless Glass Tank with Black Backing - Centered Overflow drilled for Herbie System, Two returns drilled through the back - Tank made by the good guys at Red Coral Lighting: - Tek 6 Bulb unit. Bulb combination still up in the air, but thinking (front to back) ATI Blue Plus UVL 75/25 ATI Aquablue ATI Blue Plus GE 6500K Daylight ATI Blue Plus Flow: - Barracuda Return Pump, oversized in order to feed frag tank, fuge etc - Tunze powerhead controlled via Profilux Filtration / Chemistry: - Vertex in 80 Skimmer - 30 Gallon Sump - Balling Method...if I can figure it out. Aqua-Digital is supposed to be walking me through it when the time comes LOL Ventilation - Aquarium is open top - Fans will be placed strategically over certain tanks in the room Other stuff: - Profilux controller and dosing pump - 2 10 gallon Frag Tanks - I have 10gallons by the truck load, so that's why I'm using them and not larger tanks. I think that about covers it. This will be a looooong process. But I think it may just kick the ass of any other system I've built

![]() LOL
I have the tank and the skimmer. That's it right now. No stand even! I'm working on cleaning out the closet and building supports for it. The original pieces of plywood are going to be removed because they are too warped from what I can tell. Also will be building 2x4 frames for the new shelves. It will be horribly HORRIBLY overbuilt, but I don't want to risk anything.

![]() will do.
This is going to be an uber-long build process. With the economy crunch there's not many tattoos to do and the money I make from tattooing is what I use to fund the tanks. That might have to change though LOL
