Finally a big tank...72"x72"x24"

This tank is a work in progress, but it is finally up and running. The tank is acrylic...72"x72"x24" with the overflow in the center back...2" drain to the sump. Sump is a 60"x24"x24" tank that houses a very simple filter system. Filter floss where the water first enters the sump...Ocean Clear carbon canister, an RK2 skimmer driven by a Barracuda pump. Return to the tank is through a Blueline 40. Closed loop circulation is a Barracuda pump that returns back through a Oceans Motions 4 way.
We wanted a very open rock structure, so we used milk crates and PVC to provide a structure to build on top of. Rock is a mix of base rock and live rock. There is 200 pounds of Fiji Pink sand. The only inhabitants so far are a pair of Finespotted Fairy Wrasses.
This tank will be primarily LPS, and Softies with a few SPS.
Lighting consists of 4 lumenarc reflectors with 250 watt Hamilton 14K bulbs driven by PFO HQI ballasts. In the picture below, there are only 2 of the lights on.


I will update as we make progress.
