Tank Log

 

 

 

I am going to try and keep a log of what the progress I make towards making my dream tank.  I purchased a 180 gallon aquarium off www.craigslist.org in November 2006.  Since then I have been busy with all the DIY Stuff to make this a beautiful reef aquarium.  My background in aquariums.

  I have had several in the past.  Mostly smaller 25-50 gallon.  Those I gave away when I moved or ran out of space in our smaller house. 

Major inspiration to make this a reef tank came from www.garf.org.  After reading there website (although hard to find what you want, there is a lot of very good information) I decided I was going to make as much as possible in this tank myself.   This included

  • Stand
  • Hood
  • Rocks
  • Protein Skimmer (got this idea from www.reefland.com )
  • More to come.
