Reefbox's 34 Solana Adventure

[reefbox]

As some of you know, I've been bouncing in and out of the Hobby this past year. I've finally decided to get back in and stay for the long haul. My first step was to find a tank. Now, i've been in the Hobby long enough to remember when the First Current USA Solanas rolled out from the Factory. I've loved this tank since that day, but never committed to buying one.  I picked up this beauty off of Dpeyton today!! 

 

   Anyways, enough with jabber and onto the , "BUILD"

The plan for this tank is to go mostly Sps corals with a high-end Zoa garden.  

 

SPECS:

 

Solana 34  " Bare-bottom"

 

Lifeguard Quiet one return

 

 

 

Controller

APEX lite

 

35 lbs of mixed Dry and Mined Ancient Reef Rock

 

Lighting- Temporarily using a Kessil 150 Skylight. love this spectrum. could use a little more blue..

 Planned lighting - Radion Pro

 

Stay tuned.

Very nice. You should add starboard to the bottom and silicone it in. Best way to do bare bottom. I would get an apex jr or apex depending on what you want to control. I'm not a big fan of the AI lights. I think Radions are a much better product. That being said I have a 48" rail kit that will allow you to attach the AI to that stand. Let me know if you would like it.
