750XXL build

[Sthomp01]

Kicking off our 750 XXL build thread.

My wife and I started with a 55 gallon tank that we had for 2 years. We had good luck with this tank so we decided to upgrade this year.

In February 2020 we had TSA install our new Red Sea 750XXL. The install was smooth from the TSA team. Once the tank was in place I installed the Apex system in a separate cabinet.

We also setup our own RODI system using the brute trashcan method.

System:
750XXL
2 MP40s
1 RedSea wave gyre
APEX System
APEX DOS
APEX Trident
Octopus skimmer

It's been a while since any updates. We had a crash due to alkalinity drop because I did not fill the doser before going out of town. That was 6 months ago. Tank is recovering now. The new torch is from @TopShelfAquatics LPS mystery coral from the 10 yr anniversary. Going to mount it tonight.

Hey, tank is looking great! That sucks about the alk drop causing issues but hopefully its stable from here on out.
