Jake's 80g Mixed Reef


Recommended Posts

(edited)

Decided to start up a thread for my 80g tank that I had planned for some time.  It is now currently up and running and couldn't be happier with how it turned out!

 

This tank is a combined upgrade of my two previous nano tanks which were my 20g long and my 25g IM Lagoon.  The move looks like it went well as I haven't really seen any corals affected negatively and all fish are happy with so much more space enjoying life.  Here are some pictures of my tank during the build and soon I will get some pictures of the sump so you guys can check out my simple setup that I think I am happy with!

 

The equipment I am using on this tank is:

Tank - Seapora 80g Reef Ready

Lights - 3x White AI Prime 16HD

Return Pump - Jebao DCP 2500

Sump - 29g Aqueon w/ Fiji Cube DIY Sump Baffle Kit (Left out one panel)

Skimmer - Reef Octopus Essence 130

Powerheads - 2x Jebao SW-4

ATO - XP Aqua Duetto

Heaters - 2x 300w Finnex Titanium Heater w/ Inkbird Controller

Lots of color to be seen.... but did you actually somehow fit all of those corals into half the amount of water?  I'm surprised there are so many coming from much smaller tanks!

Nice job and excellent dimensions. The dark grey paint for the stand really makes it seem polished and clean, nice doing.

Very nice!!  where you order the tank? nice dimension!!!.

I got it from Nova Tropicals! Great price on it too and reef ready doesn't really take away too much from the dimensions in my opinion! It is 48x24x16

Looks great man. I seemed to have started the 80G trend in our area ha ha. They really are great tanks with perfect dimensions. 

Thanks! Definitely always loved the frag/lagoon style tanks!
