Braeden's 22 Gallon SPS Dominated Cube

[Aquaticguy11]

Hi Everyone,

Now that I have some time on my hands, I am going to be showing my build to everyone. This is my first saltwater tank but I have done a lot of research and felt completely comfortable with setting this thing up. Currently my tank is about 2 months old but I am going to take you back to the beginning. Please comment and tell me if you see anything wrong and give me suggestions.

Frame of the stand


Plywood for the sides and top of the stand


Painting The Stand

Siliconing baffles in 20 Gallon Sump

Koralia 750 (Circulation)


Test Kits, got calcium after I took this picture


Maxi Jet 900 (Circulation)


Eheim 1000 (Return Pump)


Bulk Reef Supply 4 Stage RO/DI Unit


Aluminum Bar for my 250W PFO Metal Halide. This was painted black and another piece was added to it for better mounting


Ready for placement in my living room


Sitting in it's permanent spot, looking pretty nice. I know It is by a window but the tank itself won't get any direct sunlight. Also I will be keeping the blinds closed most of the time.


This is up to about February 10th. Hopefully I did everything properly. I will post some more pics of the tank up and running from the last month later tonight or tomorrow. Please comment and tell me if I should change anything.

Thanks
