After a long hiatus of about 2 years, Im planning my next build. I've been all over the place with the Army and (obviously) couldn't have a tank. I did, however, buy a gorgeous 65gal tank thats reef ready, and i have a whole bunch of top-of-the-line equipment that I have never used as well.
I bought a stand and canopy with it, but have since decided I am going to build my own, and use those for a 40 breeder species tank (since they have the same footprint). I want to build it myself because I have a giant sump that I want to use so I will have to build a stand much bigger than the one i bought to accomodate it. Im thinking of building a stand that looks like an entertainment center (with shelves and whatnot) on either side of the tank, so that it is not just sitting on a much-too-large stand. I'll upload CAD pics later once i build them.
As for the 40, im going to use a smaller sump that the stand can handle and itll go in a different room. Not sure whats going in it yet. I'll add all my equipment specs for both tanks later, but I am very excited for the MH setup i have for the 65. Its going to be a full reef for sure, the 40 will likely be a fowlr.
good to be back. :spin1:
