180 Gallon

[brickwood]

Thought I would start a tank journal for my 180 build. This tank came into Aquatic Addictions and as soon as I saw it I snatched it up. I'm sure a lot of you have seen the tank in the store. The rock is Reef Ceramics and is aquascaped to perfection. I am planning to add a few more pounds of live rock to seed the tank and also for a little more natural look.




The sump is 40 gallons.


We went with a Vertex 280 skimmer.


The system is running off of a reeflo dart pump and is plumbed with 1" 1/2 pvc.


The best part of the whole system is the lighting. We went with the AquaPerfekt Photon Plus 72" 3x250w SE HQI 12x39w T5 Fixture. Overkill? I think not. I don't have any pictures of the lights as of yet. The lights are on order and should be in soon. They are the same lights that are on the SPS tank at Aquatic Addictions.

The tank was filled with a garden hose and tap water and flowing using H2O salt. Here is a picture of all the "stuff". Sort of a whatever picture.


So far that is as far as we have gotten. I will post more when the lights come in. Everything came from Aquatic Addictions. "plug" Thanks Nikki and Dan and your wonderful employee.
