Started this build August 4 2025. It’s a Glasscages custom 72”x26”x30” glass tank on a 40” tall red oak stand made by them as well. 
I did the finish myself with a golden oak satin stain.
I decided that I would tile the floor under the tank so I would not have to ever replace it and also works well if you splash water when doing maintenance.
The tank has two 1” returns and four 1 1/2” drains. I used purple pvc and sch80 fittings. 2 drains go to my sump filter socks, 1 drain goes to my refugium, and 1 for an emergency drain.
I reused my 75 gallon sump from my previous tank.
I’m running a varios 8 return pump and a reef octopus reagal 250 skimmer.
2 icecap 4k gyres, 2 icecap 2k gyres, 2 octopulse 2’s, and an octopulse 4 for flow in the tank. I use a maxspect gyre 230 in the sump camber I dose into. I use a brs dual chamber reactor for carbon/ gfo.
Lighting consists of 4 radion XR30 G4 pro’s, 3 radion XR15 G6 blue’s, 2 66” blade grows. And a kessil h80 in the sump.
I have the tank fully automated by Apex and hydrous wave engine for the pumps which uses commands from apex for different flow patterns. I run 1 dos for auto water changes, and 4 others for Alk/Cal, Kalk/nopox, Red Sea trace A,B,C,D, top off water come right from my rodi unit and is controlled with a selinoid and a float valve for redundancy.
I originally planned on doing a mixed reef but I’m definitely leaning toward being SPS heavy. My fish load is pretty light right now so I’ve been adding some. As of now there’s:
A pair or blue mandarin’s
4 springri damsels
2 pajama cardinals
2 tomato clowns
Six line wrasse
Solar wrasse
Strawberry basset
4 chalk bass
Clown tang
Sailfin tang
Chocolate tang
Orange shoulder
Purple tang
Tomini tang
Powder brown tang
Copper band butterfly
Pair of lyre tail anthia
