I am trying to document more of my build than I have in the past. My old tank which was a 72g bow front that was great but? I wanted something bigger and nicer.
As a result I started looking for something that would suit my personal taste, my fish and corals better. Than on NJ Craigslist site in late July 2009 I came across a tank that was too good to pass up. Sure, it needed a little bit TLC but it had all the potential in the world to make it a dream tank.
Also, most the equipment is second hand. I bought it from people on my local forum or here on RC. It has taken a little bit longer to collect all the equipment, but it helped me to save some money and allowed me to meet some nice people.
Here is a rundown of the equipment that will be used on this system.
Tank- 54" x 36" x 27" 225g tank (Thank you GloveGuru) ? can you imagine that there is not a single scratch on the front glass? ?? starphire glass. --- also, thank you goes to Paul to helped me to bring it over to my house. It was a great two of moving 2 large tanks from 2 different states in ONE day.
36" x 24" x 10" 30 gallon Frag tank home made
Sump- 80g acrylic sump (Twinreef)
Skimmer- RE Alpha Cone 250 (Samsky)
Main pump ? Hammerhead (DanTheManNJ)
Controller: Profilux II with WLAN and soon to be III EX with WLAN (Vinny)
Profilux Dosing Unit ? 4 pump to control Ca, Alk and Mg (Vinny)
In tank circulation- 2 mp40's gen2 http://ecotechmarine.com/products/vortech-mp40w/ - (Thank you Brian from TB Aquatics)
Salt-Brightwell Salt (AlohaTropics)
Vertex reactor
Lighting - Phobos 48" and Io unit for the frag tank
MarcoRocks ? 3 nice towers ? just wait for the pics.
Due to the birth of the son and PacSun stuff - finally in Sept 2010 the tank is coming alive.

He agreed to do it but left painting to me. I dont have any pics of the actual construction but I can share a few pics of me trying to paint it. Yes, I wanted a dark color to match the furniture in the TV room. and you can see I am not a great painter.
