First Look 220gallon

[rgardner]

I want to thank everyone from this forum who have helped me answer all my beginner questions. SaltWater City and Jeff Mcphail thanks for everything.

This is my 220 which is what I call a junkyard build. Everything except for the tank and stand were used. The majority of live rock is dead but has been seeded with a few pieces of live rock.

I started the tank by building the bases which are egg crates covered in spray foam, sand, and dead rock. I am running 3 x 250 watt metal halides, 2 x 20k's and 1 x 10k. So far I have 1 koralia 4 and a small no name powerhead. I just got a large 50 gallon sump from Saltwater City which is also used. I will be connecting it to the system after I find a external pump.

The tank has a few coral frags that I removed from my 30 gallon. Nothing major but plan on adding many soft corals in the following weeks. http://www.tropicorium.com">www.tropicorium.com</a>

The tank is in the begining stages and I will post pictures of the progress.

nice start. i dont see but one power head in there, a tank that size is gonna need some good flow.

There should be an anemone in that flower pot's future. (because they always end up where we want them to right?)

Ricci - Nice job. I like the idea of getting everything used.
