      55 Corner Build

      It's been months since I set up this tank and I just now realized I never started a build thread. Anyways, this is an acrylic 55ish gallon corner tank I got here on the threads. The stand was black and I ended up painting it white inside and out and added some trim on the bottom and top. For the tank, I went ahead and drilled it for two drains and a single return then cut and bent a custom acrylic overflow box for the the back corner. It has 3 sides to reduce the amount it sticks out into the tank. I have two Jebao WP-25 powerheads on the sides. In the sump I have an SCA 302 skimmer that I just grabbed last weekend and for lighting I am running two AI primes that are paired together. The bracket I built myself with some u-brackets and a piece of square tube from home depot.

      Livestock includes a clown, yellow tang and diamond watchman goby. I plan to add some more fish but that will be pretty slow going. With my skimmer I can go a little on the heavy side for bio-load. There are also various snails and crabs. Corals are some zoas, 4-head hammer and an acan frag. I haven't gone far into corals on this tank yet since I still plan to add more live rick. There is only about 20 pounds or so in there right now and I don't want to move corals every time I add more rock.
