80g shallow reef

[renato120]

Here is my new build, its a 80g shallow deep blue.
Its been a week since I set it up. All my corals was from my previous 34g shallow tank. So far Im
Only interested in soft corals. I might try some LPS down on the road. I already had SPS tanks and they do require lots of work. I’m still using my ATI 36’ fixture. I Think its more Than enough for soft corals.

i have the same tank, the footprint on it is amazing! i personally had a hard time aquascaping it but thats only because i lack creative power. i would replace the bulk heads as they tend to be to big for what they drilled. i regret not doing that right away. Your tank looks amazing already.

I wonder what the logistics of removing my existing sump and throwing a new one in would be like. And in wonder how badly that would destabilize my ecosystem.

I'm just a gear addict, when I know I can't mess with the tank I like crave upgrades. I'm a sick person
