66g oceanic sps with refugium
 

Picked up a 66g oceanic read ready tank, stand, aqueon proflex3 sump, zetlight 144w led panel

ATM there's just sand and 1 piece of lr in the tank as I'm bleaching the rest of the rock, Im being extremely picky about what I add to the tank in order to avoid pests. I plan on "selectively seeding the tank".

Yesterday me and a friend of mine went to work building a refugium that will be plumbed into the sump

It is 17.5"x18.5"x10" inside dimensions which works out to just over 15g

Half inch thick bottom 3/8" sides all beveled glass

All I have left to do is build a stand and. Drill it but I'm probably going to redo the silicone as it didn't turn out as neat as I wanted it to because I ran out of masking tape

Livestock for main tank will be 4 wrasses 2 flashers and two fairies

Refugium will have sugar sand, 8 mangroves and 11 engineer gobies with hidden PVC tunnels in the sand to try to stop them from making a mess

For bio media I'll be running a pros an 550 and a 150 with bio pellets and a 150 with rowa phos

Also the coralife skimmer is getting swapped out for a swc skimmer

All the reactors will be housed in the refugiums stand in order to save space around the sump

Oh and my frag tank

Running an ac 70 hob remora hob and 2x marineland reef bright led panels but only one in the pic as the other one is holding up my jail in my big tank

can't wait till you have some live stock in it.

Refugium plumbed in still need to throw on some reactors

Looks great so far, can't wait to see more progress of the tank with pics!
