This is a late build thread however since I run my tank with the zeovit system I want to share my journey with all of you.
Well, let me introduce my self my name is Anthony from socal. I have been addicted to reef/salt water since 1983. I have kept many different tank and the current set up is a 265g leemar. I'm moving to a new house and I told my wife it's going to be difficult to move a 265g glass aquarium so she said then buy a new one lol....but her demand is it's has to be a focus of the new house so need to be nice and custom.
The new reef will be a spectacular 96"x36"x24" acrylic peninsula on a custom steel white stand with RE dream box design custom sump from John at Advance Acrylic. I have seen many different tank but his tank is exceed all of my expectation. Since I go all in with the tank, stand and sump I will do the same with equipment.
When I was 13 I stayed on an island in Malaysia and got my first taste of corals reef particular stag horn acropora since then I always want to have a tank full of stag horn. My vision for this tank will be a forest of stag horn and a school of damsel fish darting in and out. The house we are looking at has a perfect room and place for my dream tank. An 8 foot window divided the living room and the sun room make a perfect placement for the tank.
I talked to John from AA and started to design the tank and sump in Oct 2016 and he has 6 months to complete for move in date in Feb 2017. In November at RAP 2016 my sump was at RAP and I was so happy to see it. Measure 49"x30"x18" its a beast of a sump. Im going with BK supermarin 250 protein skimmer thats why I need a wide 30" sump and I love it.
