Hi Guys,
I'm new here and thought I'd share my current progress on my tank build.
I'm building a 54 gallon corner tank that will be sitting in my living room behind a couch. So far I had a custom steel stand built for it so that it sits perfectly in the spot it's going in. I'm just finishing up the canopy build, I need to sand it prime and paint it and install handles for the doors on it. I drilled the glass, installed an eshopps overflow box, I have a eshopps med-cube sump I'll be using, an aquamaxx cone q1 skimmer, a Hydor L40 pump, I'll be lighting this with an al hydra 26 light and haven't picked out my wave-maker yet. This is my first reef tank I've kept African's for years up to this point but when I moved I found a new home for those fish and got a new tank to start down this road.
I'm starting to get into the aqua scaping step of this tank and will be using reef saver dry rock to build all my structures. (to me this is one of the most important aspects of a tank build.
Give me some feedback on this so far, perhaps some useful do's and don'ts as well. I look forward to sharing and learning from all of you.
