Default Reefaddict29er's 125 gallon Upgrade

Hey everyone,

This is my first attempt at a tank journal so I will do my best to keep this updated.

I moved into an apartment a couple years ago and decided to take a break from the hobby. After getting the itch to start up a new tank I decided to try an AIO tank for the first time. I figured get something easy, low maintenance, and overall "simple"


Red Sea Max 250 White




Unfortunately, the AIO experiment lasted only 3 months. Although the tank looked great, I was frustrated daily with the stock skimmer and the lack of ability to add additional equipment.

So here we go...

Specs (so far):

- 125 gallon concept starfire tank 60"L x 24"W x 20"H
- 50 gallon concept sump 36"L x 18"W x 18"H
- Spit.fire custom steel stand and light hangers
- Vertex Omega 150 skimmer (for now)
- Vertex 3.0 Zeo reactor
- Laguna Max-Flow 2000 return pump
- IM HydroFill ATO controller and pump
- IM Hydrofill ATO reservoir
- 60" ATI LED Powermodule Hybrid 8 bulb T5

Production/install goes to spit.fire

Custom steel stand is ready for powder coating.




Its here...



Light hangers up...




I gotta say this light is a beast. Very impressed by the power and it's a very slick looking fixture. The LED clusters are very bright. I have a feeling I'll be running these at 50%








Now for the display...




The tank is 3-side starfire with a starfire eurobrace. External over flow set up for Herbie drain. Black bottom with a black acrylic wall.
