New to me 65g RR

[Mole]

So... Picked this up from a local reefer (also a member here) and I'll be getting it set up over the next couple weeks. I'm planning on transferring my 20g nano into it. I realize it's not going to be large enough but it's a compromise with my wife until we get the basement finished.

I'll be changing the cabinet around a little (paint and set up wise) before I feel it's ready. Maybe change the color, rehang the doors and general "fixes" prior to moving things over. What caught my eye about it was the height and the stained glass. I have a bit of cleaning to do but hey, I have the next two days off.

Here is the beastie, 36wx 18lx 24h;

Looks great! I am in the process of downsizing from my 75G bedroom setup to a 65G with a 3ft footprint. Hope it works out great for ya!

I'm sure it will, thanks. The only thing I have questions about are the lights. In the past I've done LEDs, PCs and T5s. The canopy on this has 2x 250w halides and t5s. I'm hoping these will help my montis. I'm really looking forward to getting this up and going. It'll probably be up for a year or so before I can get the basement finished and I'm hoping I can get some of my frags to grow before I go to a bigger tank.

Im transferring my reef radiance LEDS over to the 65 when I get it. My fastest grower by far is my ORA scripps stag. Purchased it just after thanksgiving with 3 branches and i now have 13 branches in 5 weeks!

HEH! Nice, maybe when you transfer you might perchance break it and send me a frag (purely accidentally of course). :whistle:

I think that might just be able to be arranged!!!! Hopefully I will get to pick up my tank soon ... Then on to order my dosers and everything else to go along with it!
