My new 180 reef Tank
This dream got started when I would just drop my jaws looking at reefs from Pucci, MtnDewMan, Tubs, Steve Weast, JB NY, AcroporaUK, 64Ivy, reefbaum and Robz just to name a few. I just wanted someday to give myself a chance.
With a lot of sacrificing I have been able to get my project started. Rob from "Oceans Below" in Palm Beach Gardens and Eric Sturz have been great soldiers. Robz has been helping me in more ways than one. Thanks to Rob I was able to have my stand and canopy made from a great Cuban carpenter in Miami(Arquimedez Dias)
The tank is finally up and running although with a few things yet to be put together. I still need to install the TUNZE Turbelles and the multicontroller, the RO unit with the auto Top off and a back up in case one fails. Also still to complete is the set up of the Reactor a the ICE cap fans in the canopy.
Today I added a nice center Fiji Live Rock(37 Pounds in one rock)
Here is my set up:
-1 180 gallon tank with 3 sides of starphire glass, the Eurobrace is also made from starphire glass and it has one additional brace in the center of the tank.
-1 Artica Chiller 1 HP
-3x Spider reflectors

-1 SCWD Wave machine
-1 1800 mag(main return to the tank)
-1 700 mag runs the Chiller
-1 Maxijet 600 (return pump from the sump to the refugium)
-50 gallon sump/10 gallon refugium
-1 ASM G4 Skimmer
-1 Sedra 5000(runs the ASM G4 Skimmer
-2x 6000 TUNZE Turbelles
