150 Tank Journal/Build Finally!!!
Finally my tank is close to being done.
A few weeks ago my exams finished and i had a exam break(3 weeks) so i decided it would be a good time to do an upgrade. I currently am running a Biocube 29 with T5Ho lights, media basket, and skimmer. I am only 15 years old so its always been my dream to get a saltwater aquarium(started when i started diving when i was 8). But my dad never gave in until september, my mom has always been all for a saltwater tank. I pay for almost everything my self as i have a summer job working at a marina in manitoba where my cottage is.(i was born in manitoba and still have most family out there) I also shovel our neighbours driveways. I am also parent sponsored for a few things. any ways on to the tank: 150 Gallons 52x28x24h Full starfire with start fire euro brace Back Left corner overflow as it will be in the corner of our basement 36" stand height ATI power module hybrid lights 8 bulb 48" fixture sump(Unsure of size as dave@concept designed it for easy water changes and a frag tank section) Vertex Omega 150 skimmer 2 TLF reactors Carbon and GFO 2 WP40s 1 MP10 from existing Biocube Mag 12 return pump Also a APEX which my parents are paying for as we travel quite often All ordered from Concept in Calgary Here is what i am thinking for fish Yellow Tang Purple or Sailfin Tang not sure which one Flame Angel Anthias not sure how many probably 3-5 Copperband Butterfly Lawnmower Blennie Longnose Hawkfish Candy hogfish Pipefish Royal Gramma Fairy Wrasse Leopard Wrasse And also the fish being transfered from my biocube 2 Clownfish 3 Blue Green Reef Chromis 1 Purple Firefish Target Mandarin I am also transfering lots of corals.

Where the tank will go, behind the wall is my fish room (my dad has to move his platinum album) From above, looking from main floor kitchen/foyer/dining room Tank will be on the right Our bar - any ideas for finishing the stand to match the basement? The whole basement: Thanks! |

Yea what Greg said.
That looks like a sweet shack your living in. I'd make the stand to match the cabinets of the bar. |
