It’s a 230 gallon glass Peninsula the dimensions are 60”x36”x24” tall. It’s been 6 months from start to Finish. I’m now 12 weeks in since the tank got wet. I built the frame, wood skins and hood for the stand, all DIY.

The stand is built out of 2x2 square tubing. It’s powder coated black. All the wood panels are wrapped in vinyl. With magnets glued to the back panel. To give that flush look. For sump and Equipment, I have 39 Trigger emerald sump with 2 10 gallon ATO extensions. This makes my sump 60 gallons over all. I have 55 watt UV Sterilizer that runs 24/7 on Mighty jet DC pump makes water crystal clear. For return pump I’m running a Jabeo 15000 lieter P/H pump. A reeftek Kalk reactor that is fed by My Apex ATK. The ATO tank is 20 gallons. I’m running the new REDSEA 600 skimmer that I love. For the fuge it has a Kessil H80 grow Light. The heart of the tank is the apex. right now I have 2 Eb832s the brain and FMM,ALD,ATK soon to add the DOS. For the lighting a 48” 8 bulb geissmann t5 matrix II fixture and 2 Orphek OR2 120 light bars. For powerheads In the tank I have 2 3K Gyres.

Please feel free to ask questions

Thanks yeah,I do not have the space at home my wife works a preschool/ Swim Club called Samena. This where the tank is we get a good discount on school and I get a 200$ a month. It’s one block away from my home. I have my apex system monitor the tank. My wife loves reefs too, so helps feed once a day.
I also just got picked by BRS for the Brightwell Coral aminos Before and after tank shots. The tank is doing phenomenal. My Kalk reactor is at max saturation and started dosing 2 part a week ago. Here is a couple pics just taken.
