Post Apocalyptic Sandy Deep Blue 80 Gallon!

[al0ha]

so after the whole hurricane and power outage, my euphyllia solana did not make it.

however i am taking over nanoreefer22's (kris) 80 gallon tank. just picked up the tank today and the dimensions are 48x24x16 which is absolutely perfect!

the plan is to create a minimalist bubble tip anemone dominant tank with maybe an "island" or two of zoas and palys.

i will probably be upgrading to a pair of ai VEGAs or if i can find a good deal on a pair sols.....probably distant future....:sigh:

almost all or most of the parts and equipment have been picked up on MR, so really if it weren't for the great people on this site, i probably wouldn't have been able to do this build.

more pics to come as i set it up!

The more I see these tanks, the more I want one! The dimensions are so nice. I can't wait to see what you do with this one.
