Here we go!
This past fall, my wife and I decided to sell our current house and build a new one about an hour away in Swansboro, NC. At the time I had a 100 gallon SCA mixed reef tank, and we decided to build the new house with a tank upgrade in mind. So I sold off the tank and most of the livestock, but set up 2 frag tanks to keep the fish and some corals that I wanted to keep. Fast forward to now, and we are about a week out from getting in to the new house. I had Aquarium and Terrarium Builder out of Raleigh, NC build a 72 L X 30 W X 20 H acrylic tank that I will pick up on 30 July. Framing Tech designed and fabricated a stand out of extruded aluminum, and Jeff at Lifereef is building a sump with skimmer and refugium. I have a Modular Marine 2400 overflow, and I will be ordering 2 Reefi Duo Extremes that I will hang from a floating light mount attached to an exterior wall reinforced with several studs that I can drill into. The tank will be predominantly LPS and zoanthids, with a heavy wrasse presence. Here are a few pics to kick things off. The PDFs I attached are of the stand and the house plan that shows the tank location.
