Gugs Jr 180 Build

[GugsJr]

Well I have to down size from my 240 display with 80 gallon frag tank, since I need the room it's currently in.

So I'm starting a 180 build in the dining room with a 30 gallon mushroom/ sunburst tank.

Tanks:

• 180 Display
• 30 Gallon Mushroom / Sunburst

Filtration:

• Bashsea 48x18 Smart series sump
• Carbon Reactor
• Reef Octopus Diablo XS200 with Varios 4s pump

Pumps:

• Jebao 15000 for the 180 with 4 random flow generators
• Jebao 8000 for the 30 Gallon with 1 random flow generator
• 2 Maxspect Gyres for the 180

Monitoring

• Alkatronic
• GHL

Dosing:

• Triton Method with Dosetronic
• Calcium Reactor

Lighting

• 2 Atlantik Orphek V4 with 1 Orphek V4 Compact for 180
• 1 Orphek Compact V4 for 30
• 2 Orphek 90 Daylight for 180
• 2 Orphek 90 Blue Plus for 180
• 2 GHL Simu Bars for the Lunar cycle on the 180

Looks like you’re doing the steel work for the stands yourself. That’s sweet. Probably saving you a ton of money.

The 180 came with the stand and the 30 gallon was made by a friend.

This is how it will be set up.


Emergency drain done. Will fit color scheme of the pump.

 

[GugsJr]

Plumbing done!

Got the tank up and running this weekend.

Here it is,. Still need to reposition the corals, connect The Calcium Reactor, Alkatronic, Dosetronic and manage the cords.

Love it, glad I made the switch from my Apex. Knock on wood I haven't had one piece of equipment failure which is why I left Apex.
