I present to you my 180gal in wall build with fish room. This build has been about 3 years in the making. But in order to accomplish this I needed a new house. Lol. Don't get me wrong buying a new house just for the sake of a large tank wasnt my main reason for buying a new house but how convenient it was. It was however a factor in the choice of house.
A year and a half in to the new house and lots of Reno's later I was able to put some focus into my mix reef build and finishing the rest of the basement. The tank is a180 Starfire glass tank and custom acrylic sump. Purchased a few years ago from another member.
I had to re-plumb the tank and build a water mixing station. With all the fixings inbetween.
Mix mash of equipment include, apex controller, mp40wes, mp60wes, ecotech battery backup, H&S big bastard skimmer (can only run a single pump on it) ATI t5 60" fixture, reefbrite 50/50, reef Brite all blue, tunze top off.
Other things im im looking at are apex moon light system and probably the apex module for ecotech. Also the apex flood alarm.
So far everything is leak free, but haven't tested the salt side of the mixing station yet.
Just put rocks and sand in this weekend and starting to seed.
Project I am working on right now is cable management. Argh! The worst.
Hoping to start transferring things from 75 in a few weeks.
And my wife still loves me! Here are some progress pics. I'll try and keep up on updates but not gonna lie I'm pretty bad at that shit. Lol
Only contractor brought in was the plumbing for the floor.
