Matt's 50 gallon reef
And so it begins ................ :3195:
Just setup and plumbed this 50 gallon breeder last weekend. I have run a reef before, but was way over my head with the 180 I had running. Starting over several years later with something a bit more manageable for me at this time.
I will try to update this list as I add/remove items.

Drilled in the back right top with a 1" bulkhead.
