Thread: Reef Savvy 57 Gallon Rimless Build

My <1 year old 280 gallon tank is doing really well and is keeping me busy but a few months ago I decided to add another tank to the mix and replace my previous 57 gallon tank with a much higher quality installation. I ordered a 57 gallon rimless (37 7/8 x 18 11/16 x 18 1/2) tank from Reef Savvy and a custom stand from Benner's Woodworking. I hope to have the tank and stand no later than September and will document the build in this thread.

Planned Inhabitants:
-Pair of Hawaiian Harlequin Shrimp that I already have
-A few tank raised erectus seahorse
-Pair of Yellow Multibanded Pipefish (Doryrhamphus pessuliferus)
-My long term pair of Percula Clownfish (I have had the male for about 20 years)

Thanks they really are beautiful. They look even better and more colorful in person.

Planned Equipment:
- CONTROLLER: Apex (have a really old Lite version but may upgrade to the newly released version)
- SUMP: Custom PM from previous tank
- RETURN PUMP: Eheim 1262 (Will upgrade to Neptune COR when/if available)
- FLOW: 2X Neptune WAV powerheads
- HEATER: 125 watt Eheim Jager
- CHILLER: 1/4 HP JB Chiller from previous tank
- LIGHTING: 160w-16000k 36" Maxspect LED fixture from previous tank
- DOSING: Bubble Magus BM-T01 from previous tank
- SKIMMER: Undecided

Mark - I am really excited as well. The tank should look great. It will be a rimless design with with a phantom bottom, ghost overflow, blacked out back, with starfire glass on three sides.

Billw - I don't think he has started mine. That was another Houston bound tank for someone else.
