New 180 mixed reef

shoelaceike · Dec 3, 2015

Hi, I finally leveled the tank I've been waiting to set up. I ended up shimming it and it was easier then I thought. Livestock had been in a stock tank for a month and I just put everything together yesterday.

180 gallon Marineland RR with Marinland Monteray stand

Sump is a 50 gallon tank without baffles. 2 filter socks (homemade)

Reef Octopus 150 INT

Tunze top off

1 XF-150 for flow

see pics below!

Thanks. They start up about 20 and go to 13 over the course of the day and then back to 20 at night

I am going to make a recommendation if you dont mind. I would keep your mushrooms isolated by themselves on a rock away from the other liverock. They will spread and cause you issues down the road. Just my opinion.

Looking good. I'm planning to upgrade my 120 to 180 over this holiday season.
