Cleiar 65g display, 30g sump mixed reef

Kicking this off- first time build thread!

Picked up this tank and a ton of goodies locally for a song (thank you sir), and now to clean up and get her going!

• Run vinegar and water through for a day or so to see how she goes and clear film, etc
• Empty, rinse with RO
• Aquascape
• Outfit refugium
• Figure out how to get this massive older aquaeuro skimmer working
• Work out return section filter
• Scape in, add water
• The real fun - corals and livestock!

As of now I’m planning to run a carbon reactor and skimmer in return and 2nd section Of sump, small refugium in the 3rd. All input is welcomed!

Thinking about lights... was leaning towards two AI prime HDs as the hydra 32 doesn’t seem to quite cover the 36”. Also checking out the new Red Sea 160. Again - any help or feedback is appreciated!

Did a clean out, run through of the whole enchilada. Got lights!

Starting to aquascape...
