    I made a post looking for advice on getting a RR tank or getting a tank drilled.. Ended up purchasing a 180g reef ready and I already love it. I wanted to have an aquarium upstairs in my house as all of my previous ones have been in the basement. I decided to plum the tank downstairs to its sump in a separate room in the basement. So far everything has gone pretty smoothly I will upload some pictures and try to keep this build active. The tank is currently a mix of my own live rock and about 100lbs of dry rock added

    The plan is to have the tank mostly SPS and include fish that I have not previously had.

    Current livestock:
    2 ocellaris clownfish
    Blue tang, Yellow tang, Goldrim tang
    Pink skunk clownfish

    3 bubble tip anenomes
    lots of Montipora Capricornis colonies
    A small brain, Toadstools, Hammer corals

    Skimmer is currently an extra ebay cone skimmer that I had sitting around I will be buying a big cone skimmer later this week and I am open to suggestions.
    3 Koralia powerheads
    1 SICCE Voyager HP 10 - Just picked it up and it's been running great
    Return pump- DC 12000
    RODI is the Purely H20 optima chloramine advance- Been using this for a few years and still love it

    I have a UPS backup for my system that will run the pumps and a heater if the power goes out

    love it! Very eye appealing. Hell of a sump.

    So list all your equipment models, if you dose, all the good stuff.
