Nereaga’s 46G Bowfront

[Nereaga]

My last tank was a Bare Bottom 90g RR tank with a 30 Breeder sump. Mixed reef with fish and a Powder Blue that I was proud to keep alive and very healthy. Had MP40’s, good skimmer, reactors for PO4/ carbon running. Refuge in the sump. 150lbs of rock. A thriving reef. Then I had kids... 2 actually lol. That was a decade ago! 10 years out of the game. But very excited to be back in it!

A good friend of mine is moving to FL and asked me to take his setup free of charge. Setup has been running for over a year now. So I was at his house the next day lol. In 30 mins I hade the tank broken down and in the back of my truck and on our way home. Just a cool little 46g bowfront. I have it set up temporarily for now. Had to build a stand and I want to run a sump. I’ll upload some pictures soon.

Livestock includes:

Small foxface
2- mates black clowns
1- Picasso clown
1- scooter blenny
1- cleaned shrimp
Various cleaner crew

Plan is to add sump; run in sump skimmer, refuge, return pump. Just gonna run Eshopps overflow box. Unsure of size of sump yet, stand I can fit a 20g long or 29g standard tank. If wifey lets me use the space under the stairwell, I could go way big on sump... ‍ Updates as I remember

Cool. Nice tank! I would personally go w/ the 29 gal sump if you have the room.
