Woohoo for my first "Large Reef."
This tank was a result of me having to move and using that as a reason to upgrade.
Tank: 6'x2'x2'
Lights: 2x 250 watt Mogul MH 1x 250 HQI hamilton halide
Sump: 40 gallons 3 chambered
Skimmer: 1x Euroreef rs135 1x SCaquatics 150
Return Pump: Mag 9.5
Circulation: 4 Koralia 1025
I repainted the tank to be black, and had my hardships already with a leaking bulkhead, and then a faulty sump. So the moving process took much longer than I anticipated. And as such I unfortunately killed most of my corals in the move, and most of the fish too, but I plan to slowly rebuild with more SPS and a variety of softies and LPS as well.
The tank is only about a week old so forgive the primitive look that it is going through, I will be updating often.
I plan to add more rocks to the left side, and start adding some color!
Special thanks to thebanker (Mikey), Brandon, Jeremey, Jonathan, Zach and my roommate Steve for putting up with the mess that has been our kitchen for the last couple weeks.
Here are some pics
