Starting a new journey!!
Been keeping reefs for 7 years now. First tank was a 29 gallon nano tank, and quickly upgraded to a 60G cube within 2 months.. Quickly upgraded the 60G to a 120G 6 months thereafter .... and have hung onto the 120 for about 6 years.
Here's a shot of the 120G:
The tank is a LeeMar custom rimless 48"x24"x24" with 3/4" starphire glass and internal overflow. I custom built the stand using California walnut wood that I picked up a local Rockler store.
Shortly after setting up the 120g, I had mystery water quality issue. It actually coincided with when I started using BRS's RODI system instead of buying the water from the LFS. I never was able to resolve the water issue and that caused numerous failed coral additions, which discouraged me from really enjoying the hobby. I basically turned the tank into a fish and nem tank with some zoas.
Well, recently, I was able to properly diagnosis the issue and realized it was a chloramine problem. After resolving that, corals started to thrive and so did my interest into the hobby again!!
I just ordered a new custom 180G tank. It's rimless and dimensions are 72"x24"x24". It will be with 3/4" starphire glass and has a synergy 16" phantom overflow. I put the deposit as of today (2/14) and they estimate 7 weeks. It's from Miracles in Canada!
Here's the diagram of the plans:
