Hello,

I have done some smaller tanks in the past but over the past year I have been saving up to do a 6 foot setup.

Stand built by me, mainly built out of 3/4" birch plywood

135 Gallon Tank 72x18x25
Reef ready tank plumbed with 2x 3/4" full siphon drains, 2x 1" overflow emergency, Dual 3/4" returns going back up the back of the tank into the overflow boxed using factory holes in overflows.

40 breeder Sump - DIY nothing like some acrylic/table saw/acrylic glue/silicone (I bought a brand new Crystal 36 Sump that didn't fit my equipment how I wanted it so I just tossed it aside and went back to what I know best and that's just building my own.

Gear
Hydros Control X4
Hydros XP8
Vectra M2
2x MP40
1x MP10
Sicce 2.0 for UV
Aqua Ultraviolet 25watt UV
Aquamaxx ConeS Q-1 Skimmer
2x Eheim Jager TruTemp 250watt

3x Hydra 32's
Light bar (planning on some sort of DIY box that i can hang from the ceiling)

I may be missing some things but well start with this.
