WerkkreW's 30 Gallon Build (Pic Heavy)

[werkkrew]

I figured I would finally start my own build thread here on RC since I read so many of them. The tank is about 3+ months old now so I will do my best to summarize my build from the start until now!

This is my first reef tank, so I started small. I have done a lot of research and I feel I am off to a pretty good start.

It is a 30 Gallon basic aquarium with a 20H DIY Sump. Stand and Canopy were built by me.

Hardware:
CPR Overflow Box
QuietOne 1200 Return Pump
Coralife SS 65g Skimmer, Modded
CPR Overflow Filter Sock Holder
DIY 20H Sump with Refugium
150W Jager Heater
TLF PhosBan 150
2x Hydor Koralia #2's
Tek 4x39w T-5 Fixture, Custom Built Canopy
-Geisemann Bulbs
Fans In Canopy and Above Sump
Kent Marine Maxxima RO/DI Unit


50# Fiji Premium LR
15# Aragonite
10# Live Sand
10# Refugium Mud
