Hello everyone, I wanted to document my retirement present to myself and honor a commitment I made to a very nice Lady that I received this tank from. I was planning on building a 75 gal system slowly and DIY to have a project as I enter into retirement after 39 years at Hill AFB. I had bought a tank and was looking for some lights or a skimmer on KSL when I saw D's ad for a complete 90 gal reef that she had to sell due to her on going battle with cancer. This was my dream setup - it was loaded! Dual MP-40's Full APEX control, Steves LED's Full SPS edition, Reef Octo DC return pump, Bubble Magus Skimmer, Sump, UV, Carbon/GFO reactor, Jebao4 head dosing unit, tons of support stuff - a complete 88 gal mixing station with 75 gpd RO/DI and Iwaki MD-100 pump, powerheads, pumps, CA and Alk , Red Sea Reef Care Program Test kits, boxes full of tubing, heaters, test kits, supplements, salt, etc, etc, there is just no way I could ever had a system like this if I had to procure it new, and I know it pained D to let it go for what I could afford, but she had to move it and she was gracious to accept what I could offer. I promised her I would care for it to the best of my ability and she asked for some pictures of it set up, hence this thread. The learning curve on the Apex and system support equipment has been fairly steep but thanks to a good friend of D's, Kevin (JeffatPM here on forum) it is finally to a point where I feel pretty good about it so here is the build (transfer). I started by grabbing the mixing station and setting it up in my basement with it plumbed up into our front bathroom which is now the "Sump Room" adjacent to the dining room where the tank is situated.
