The plan is a 280 display with a ART 55 gallon sump. I've got a 120 currently as the display and might use it as a fuge

Supporting the floor will be the biggest issue on this build

If you put a cinder block in a bucket it doesn't tend to blow away during a severe wind storm. I say this should help with your insurance premium? Safety and no loss of property comes first in those sticks you come from.

Guys that share hats like that might get confused as Eskimo brothers. Better stick with the tank talk and cure your reef herpe issues first.

Just for that this thread should get a one star rating.

The tank is a 280 reef ready custom built by Envision Acrylic. I have a GEO 8x16 calcium reactor and I'm going to start off using my ATB 840 skimmer. The main pump will be a Sequence 3600. Lightning will be ATI 8 bulb 60 inch. Of course i will keep my halides as back up
