madmike Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) I finally purchased a new tank after selling the 12 footer almost 2 years ago! The wife and I moved into a new home and I have been eyeing a corner for awhile now so I finally pulled the trigger. I ordered a 48"Lx30"Wx20" tall 125 gallon starfire rimless from ocean by design up in Seattle in november. After 5 weeks the tank was ready to pick up but an unfortunate loading incident cracked the bottom and it had to be rebuilt. Fast forward another 6 weeks and I finally got the tank. I've spend the last couple of weeks setting up the stand and got the lighting and winch system up and running this weekend. Tank is cycling now and hope to be able to raid Daniks sps candy shop within a few months Quick specs of the equipment so far OBD 125 gallon starfire rimless Steel powdercoated stand with magnetic cabinetry on two sides RLSS 6 DC skimmer Waveline DC 6000 return Apex unit Ocean Revive Arctic T247 (single in the middle) Kessil A360W (Two) Maxspect 150 gyre for flow Edited February 24, 2015 by madmike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Looks great! There's quite a few of us with OBD tanks now. Hope you like yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Love the way the lights are hung and how the tank looks like a built in. Very slick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks for the compliments. No It's pretty easy to adjust the lights Beer. I have ordered my kessil control cables so I'll be hooking them to my apex to play with the intensity and color so I'll see how that goes...

badxgillen Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 MADMIKE!!! What a nice beginning, all out SPS again? I see Crush is going to be overseeing the tank for the duration of the build. How do you like the Gyre? Pretty nice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
