Blue falcon 65g build thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHOOOOOHOOOO! I hope you are as excited as I am. After 4 months of research and saving $ I'm finally upgrading my 10 gallon to a 65 gallon. I've been holding out on ya'll with my build. Actually started it about a month ago but I wanted to release it when all my equipment was here and up and running. Just put in my firefish goby and lawnmower blenny today. Cycle is finished already because I cycled my rock in rubbermaid containers about 2 months ago. So, here are the specs.

65G DT pre-drilled reef ready
Herbie Style overflow
80lbs base rock 10lbs live rock
80lbs Fiji Pink live sand
5lbs live aragonite (from 10G)
2 Koralia 2 powerheads
ATI sunpower T5 6X39W
20G long sump
mag 9.5 return pump
6500K fuge lamp
ASM G-2 protein skimmer

Wow talk about withholding information! Looks like you're off to a running start.

 

Very nice.

 

HAHA! Yeah I was holding out so I could have everything looking nice for ya'll. Didn't think you wanted to see a cloudy tank a month ago and have to wait till today to see the lights. lol

 

Thank you!

 

Still trying to figure out how to deal with the huge fire hazard behind the tank. I have 3 powerstrips and chords EVERYWHERE!. lol

 

Also If you notice the Blue Falcon Shirt I'm wearing.

 

nice upgrade. what did it all cost you?

 

Oh man. I'm afraid to add it all up. Around $3,000 so far with no livestock yet.

 

That tank looks really sweet! What are the dimensions?
