Vincent's 190

[vhuang168]

Thought I should start this as the tank finally got wet Tuesday night.

Tank is a used DSA 190 I picked up on CL for a song.

A fellow reefer built the stand for me. Just a simple framed wood stand.

Equipment is as follows.

Apex w/ 3 EB8s
2 WAV pumps
Synergy Reef CL-44 sump in white/red with ATO
Red Dragon 3 80w return pump
Royal Exclusiv Double Cone 200 skimmer
3 Kessil AP700s w/ light mounts from 6061.com
2 Aquatic Life Macro Aqua Flow swing
2 Finnex Ti 300w heaters
Vertex RX-C 6D calcium reactor
Masterflex 7523-80 w/ Easy Load 3 head for CaRx feed
Custom SS CO2 regulator

I had JesterSix come by to do the rockwork. I've had about 200lbs of rock curing in a 55g barrel since Feb.

Here is the tank as of yesterday morning. I may move the pieces around a little.



The bowl on the far left was designed for an H. magnifica or if I decide to go with an S. gigantea then I will put btas there.

There are only 2 lights showing because the 3rd is in use on the temp 40b I have setup to house livestock as this was being used.

I will rotate the 2 currently on the tank 90 deg and install the 3rd in the middle spanning the center brace.

How is it going with your new build? How do you like your Kessil ap700's?

[vhuang168]

Build is going well.



Finished plumbing and have full circulation and filtration!



Loving the AP700s. I have 1 over my temp tank for about a year now and it is doing great!

I'll hang 3 over the 190.

Great to hear! Your build is looking awesome! Sump is so clean looking and organized. What kind of corals are you planning to focus on? Have you thought about the livestock? With that tank size you have fantastic options.

It will be an sps dominant tank.

I already have most of my livestock and most of my corals. It's just a matter of getting this tank ready enough to transplant the corals over.
