375 SPS Reef Build

if your new floorplan allows get a dedicated fish room. I wish I would've thought of this before building our house 3 years ago.. Now I'm already to move again lol just so I can have a dedicated fish room for equipment and just have a single pane of glass showing the reef to my living room.

we looked at many floor plans and unfortunately the one that best fit our needs and budget isnt laid out to where a fish room is possible. Sucky sucky.

So here it is! My NEW 375 gallon SPS build!

96x30x30 which I like more than the first one. 42" tall steal stand with attached cabinet.

60" Bashea signature sump and Bashea skimmer. There is also a Bashea bio reactor which is huge, probably 36 tall by itself. Not sure I will use that but its there.

Return pump is dart/hybrid, same as last time but this guy looks a little used up. Might go a different direction. I like the idea of quite control. I really don't want to do a 100% change in the plumbing but not sure I am thrilled with the design and how they cut it to get it off.

Clearly its a used tank and I bought it for the same price I sold my last 375 for. Which means I get all that value back! plus some because the sump and skimmer are more expensive.

I've already got Apex, dosing set up, 4 XR15 pro and more so I am sure this will go together fast and be better than the last one!

I am EXCITED! comment if you are happy that I got back in the game almost the same way I got out.

Alrighty, tanks were swapped out yesterday and new one being filled. Gosh, hope the plumbing holds. I hate feeling like im going to have a bunch of leaks.

Basically put the plumbing back on as it came off. It’s not my perfect idea of how it should go but it was 80% done so I went with ease of installation.

My room is a mess but some pics are included below

Control area is a cluster mess
Aquatic life 60" hybrid installed
Bashsea reactor turned into chaeto reactor with LED strips
More rock added, scape sucks ( I didn't take my time)
Leaks everywhere

Hopefully I will have some time to document all of this with photos soon.
