S'il vous plaît excuser ma mauvaise écriture et que je vais passer à l'anglais comme langue française est si pauvre et que Googe traduire rend toujours amusant de moi .... Mais je pensé qu'il pourrait être intéressant pour vous les gars de voir mon projet qui est maintenant sur la façon de devenir un aquarium récifal.
Some of you may remember my previous aquarium, if not it is here

This aquarium is now gone and sold to another crazy reef keeper in VD so it may pop up at some point.....
I took the decision this time to go for a full custom aquarium and so the new one is as follows:
Display tank: 160 x 160 x 110cm
2 main sumps
Automatic 200ltrs water change
This gives me close 4000ltrs of reef to play with
![Very Happy :grin:](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Main equipment as follows:
Lighting: AI Hydra 52 x 12
Main pump: Abyzz A400
Flow: Ecotech MP60QD x 4
Skimmer: Deltec TC3070s with self cleaning head, automatic drain and washing
Control: Full Apex system with dedicated router and LAN
The project has been in planning for around 2 years and we actually started the building work in December last year. The aquarium was finished in May and we started with water in early July but it's been a long hard journey with 90% of the work done by ourselves at home.
I will post up some pictures of the project journey but here to start is a strange animal that first occupied the aquarium for a few minutes as the water was 15º
