Default Epic Build, The 750 monster

And so it begins, I recently scored a screaming deal on a complete 750 gal FOWLR set-up (1000 gal total volume including sump), included all equipment and even 30+ very nice fish. All the specifics will follow, but first better get pics up before the lynch mob strikes.

Still wrapped from the trip home, but this


Is going to go here


The tank measures 96lx60wx30h 1" cellcast acylic.

Don't blink, this will go quick as all the livestock along with 400lbs sand and 700lbs LR are currently in temporary holding facilities and need to get back to the big tank ASAP. Demo for the install will start this afternoon.

Off hand, the livestock consists of:
1 very large French Angel
1 very large Unicorn Tang
1 Queen Angel
1 stunning Blue Face Angel
1 Asfur Angel
1 Sailfin Tang
1 Hippo Tang
1 Purple Tang
1 Harlquin Tusk
2 Royal Gramma
1 Black Cap Basselet
1 Very large I haven`t looked it up yet
1 Cleaner Wrasse
1 large Bird Wrasse
1 Long Nose Butterfly
2 Don`t know butterfly
4 Green chromis
6 Ocellaris Clowns
1 Flame Angel
1 Flame back Angel
1 Hawkfish

I think there may be a few others that are in hiding right now and all fish are mature, large and some of the nicest looking specimens I have seen, the only two with issues are the Hippo Tang and Long nose Butterfly (Lateral line issues)

Congrats on the new tank i would love to have a FOWLR that size, the fish you could put in a tank that size are gorgeous and worthy as the focal point. Are you going to be using sunlight from the window as your lighting?

I don't see any fish on that list that the clarkii's couldn't keep from bothering a large anemone

It was an easy sell once I saw it last week all set up, took all of 10 seconds to seal that deal, I have a few small changes in mind regarding how the equipment will be plumbed. If all goes well I should have it back up and running with the fish back in by next weekend.
