Quick background story. I started reefing back when I was in college. I had a tank crash and couldn't afford to continue the hobby.

Two years ago I jumped back into the hobby. My main tank is a Waterbox 6026.

Now, this is the story about my second tank.

AA 36x24x24
Marine Depot Sump Modify to fit Aquamaxx filter roller ( I hope this works, it was a struggle to make it fit)
5 Gallon Trigger ATO
Ecotech L1
Aquamaxx Q2
AquaUV 25
2 MP40
Tunze ATO
Radio XR30 G5 (Planning to add LED strip)

Really nice setup! Looking great, nice clean plumbing, sweet sump- sleek looking tank and fancy stand! Can’t wait to see what you do with it. Thanks for sharing my friend, keep up the good work and HAPPY REEFING!

Thank you!

Nice set up, love that overflow box is that a ghost or synergy, or another brand?

The tank is from Advance Acrylic with the overflow built-in.

Update on the tank….

Last week, the initial plumbing had a drip leak. The leak was above the uv. Unfortunately there was only 1 union so I had to cut the pipe and redo the back side.




This week, The aquascape is done!

I’m pretty nervous about lifting the structure to place it inside the tank.

Of course all my fear are coming true… first the plumbing leak then it was the aquascape falling apart when I lowered it into the tank.

After redoing each structure 2 or 3 time it finally made it into the tank.
