fpd4308 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Starting my project to replace my 30 gallon today. This tank is an acrylic 48" x 24" x 12" built out of 3/4" acrylic with an internal overflow (thanks Jeff @ C&C). My plan is to create a shallow lagoon type reef. Let's see how she goes.

albertareef Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Good luck! Randall (PowderBlue) had an awesome 60 gallon SPS heavy lagoon setup a few years ago that was one of my favorite tanks. I think it was a bit deeper but similar dimensions. Might check out his old tank thread for inspiration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakemaxwell707 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Im seeing a lot of mangroves in this style tank is it essential or more preference? Just curious. It looks amazing btw, 13 hours of work you can be proud of . Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpd4308 Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Just thought I would post an update. I finally moved into the "modern era" of reefing and set up a Tunze ATO, Apex EL and Apex Dos system. Tank is really starting to come along.
