Hey all,
So first off I took a break from the hobby when I went on permanent disability in October and now that I've moved to a new house I'm ready to start up a new tank! Definitely lowered the gallonage but want a unique tank.
Right now it's being used as a holding tank for my last breakdown that was in my dads house.
I originally wanted two separate tanks but decided to put them on the same stand and tie them together in theming.
I'm going to have this tank with rock inside and outside the tank and have an 8g nano AIO next to the 22g tied into it.
The 22g is 36x12x12
The 8g is 12x12x12
The stand is 54x24x40 with a granite top
Equipment for 22g is Radion xr30w Gen 3 Pro, Reeflink, heater, apex system, two MP10wes and Reef Octopus Classic 90HOB
Equipment for 8g is Wavepoint 50/50 LED, 90GPH pump and small filter.
The 8g will be a freshwater planted tank with 6 red mangroves and other plants.
The 22g will be a simplistic reef tank with mostly soft corals on one side and chalices and acans on the other. Some small nano fish also will be added. Rocks will raise out of the tank and go on top of the 8g where I'll grow plants on the rocks.
I started this build last night 5/30/16 after about 2-3 months of planning and getting all the equipment. Wanted to plan ahead for this one.
So lots of writing but here's some build photos!
Just the stand being built now.
Have the top, bottom, sides and back done and installed.
Laying out the granite to decide how it'll look. It'll cover the whole top when completed.
Here's the tank while being used as a holding tank
Cat photo bomb lol
That's all for now! Hoping to have stand done by this weekend and in the house.
