Yay new tank!

Just ordered a Reef Octopus t90 48 gallon to replace my 65g AGA aquarium (will be coming up for sale soon!)

I spent the morning debating over a Mr Aqua 48 or completely splurging on an ADA 90p and drilling them. But then I found a Reef Octopus priced right between the 2, and already drilled!

I forgot to order the over flow, which looks pretty nice BTW, but expensive.

Post some pictures when you get it...

Good Luck! Remember to pace yourself.

Getting excited. pretty good price for it too. No word on when it will ship yet; we are arranging freight for it. Unfortunately it's too big to go UPS/fedex.

I will be reusing most of my current equipment- ATI 6x39 t5, itech skimmer, jeabao 25s, ehiem return.

The one thing I will be doing differently on this set up is loosing the "wall of rock" look, going minimalistic with rock work; going full Zeo, and replacing my kalk top off with a 3 part doer.

Most of my SPS died from an ALK swing a few months ago. I have mushrooms, zoas, and LPS left, and I believe they will be hardy enough to survive the transition to the new tank.

I just need to finish my stand!

What type of foam should I put under the tank? I believe everyone says to put a "closed" cell foam pad. I have a 1/8 neoprene sheet under my frameless 12 gallon. Would 1/4" neoprene be sufficient?

Well, a month and a half later, my tank is sitting at the local FedEx Port. Going to pick it up tonight.

Slacker me still needs to finish the stand. Structurally it is complete. I just need to skin it. I had black formica on it, but hated it so I torn it all off. I am thinking of re doing in an espresso veneer.
