I wanted to show you guys [and gals] about my new build, a custom 180G upgrade. For 2 and a half years I have had a 90g tank that was doing quite well, i think. I have learned an awful lot and waned to go bigger. So last December i decided to make the more and have been planning looking at other tanks to get ideas for the tank and someone to help me with it. A fellow lady reefer {True Tricia ] recommend ERC for the job and I contacted Rich and he has been helping me with the build. So, down to the specifics; First think i did was call my electrician and had a separate 20 amp circuit installed solely for the tank Tank; standard 180g glass tank, 6x2x2 drill baby drill!!! I was going to go with a corner over flow, but then say Isaac's 180 with the custom overflow and concluded I must have one. So I did. We got a Modular Marine to build one. It is 5 feel long!!!!!! 60" The external box is 4" wide and 6" high with 3 drains held in place by 3 2" bulkheads. The internal box is 2'' wide. This thing is Sweet!!!!!!!!!!! Stand; Custom made stand that is 40" high. It had doors on ALL sides, except the back. This thing is build like a mack truck. I wanted access from all sides. I also had it water proof. No water of the floor, that was my goal [more to come on this] Sump; was getting a custom sump from Aquabox, but they went out of business before completing the build. So I went with the Trigger system sump. The TIDELINE 48. This thing is NICE!!! http://www.triggersys.com/test/tideline-specs-2/ Skimmer. I decided to go really BIG I went with the RO 9" Regal 220 INT. This thing is rated for 500g http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/reef-octopus-9-regal-220int-internal-protein-skimmer.html The build is on!!!!!!! More to come soon. Thanks for looking
