hey how much did you buy your tank for because this person is selling a 220 gallon pentagon tank for 780 in my area with a really cool stand and canopy made out of tiles. and and skimmer and pump

@jarederajarederaj I spent too much for my setup. I bought all new and custom so the tank was $1500 and the tank canopy combo I had a cabinet maker make for me on his spare time for about $900. That's not including the life support system for the tank (pumps, sumps, lights, protien skimmers, etc.) $780 is a good price if the tank is not leaking.

The difference between the two is about 10" the Greys max out at about 30 inches and the black or brown banded grow to about 42 inches. Greys are also a little lighter, they keep a faint stripe as they age and there pectoral fins are more rounded than a black or brown banded

For filtration all I use is a 30 gallon sump, with a filter sock and an RPS 4000 protein skimmer. Change out the sock twice a week and every 6 weeks do about a 75 gallon water change. Your water should be fine as long as you check your nitrate levels about the same time you change out your filter socks

For lights I am using about 10ft of actinics, 2ft of white light and 1 14K metal halide. The fluorecents run 16 hours a day and the halide runs 7 hours

Used polycarbonate (bullet proof glass) for the rock work. You just take 3/4" rod and chemically weld it to some 1/4" plate and take your biggest rock pieces and drill a 3/4" hole through the rock and then hang it. The rest of the rock is just placed.
