Proteus is on a distinguished road
Default Proteus' Shallow reef build

I've been planning this build for about 6 months. I alway like the look down appeal. This will be a slow build as its all from scratch except livestock

I build the stand and skinned in the last couple days and built the tank the other night. Just waiting for overflow glass to be cut. Should be done Monday.

And tips and pointers are very welcome

The tank is 24x24x12 external overflow. Returns are 6" down using directional bulk heads. Plumbing will start next week. And painting and finishing stand. I have a 20x20 cube to use as sump but need to build still

Equipment to be used is
Radion gen 1
Mce 600 (until omega 125 is released)
MR1 reactor
Dc return pump to be bought yet
Check valves and gates for plumbing
