New 100 gallon build

[alvarengadaniel8]

I’ve been saving some money on a monthly basis. My build is almost done. I just need to purchase a tank. I have not decided what brand I’m going with. So far I have a nyos 160 protein skimmer, Eshopps AF-200 alpha Fuge, and a vectra m2 pump.

Went with the donated oceanic tank from @ashburn2k. Fresh Caulking on the tank. Still a work in progress

Why the Nero 5 in the sump? I also see an A80 down there, are you planning to put corals there or microalgae?

The sump sucks and lacks flow in the refugium chamber, and i need the Nero 5 so water wont stagnate. I was shopping based on esthetics and not practicality. and I'm growing microalgae.

That's a lot of big tangs for a small tank. How are they doing?

2 years together and fine tbh.

How’s the display? Super cool setup. Bottom is open but looks super industrial & does its part of capturing peoples attention to the tank.

You are doing a great job of keeping the environment clean.

One can live in the space of an efficiency apartment too
And
How long do you think these fish will live given a more reasonable space?
