55 Gallon Reef Tank Equipment
Tank
55 Gallon All Glass Aquarium - rectangular shape.
(48" long x 20" tall x 12" deep)
All Glass pine stand.
All Glass pine canopy.

This is the tank that my Dad gave me which is over 20 years old now. It has been through one move that I was surprised it survived. All of my other 6 or so tanks over the years have been from All Glass with the exception of a Marineland Eclipse six. The Stand and Canopy are not the best quality as far as looks goes but they serve their purpose.

Skimmer
CPR BacPak
Powered by a Rio 600.

The BacPak is a little underpowered for the load that I have on this tank but it does work and it pulls out a good amount of waste.

Heating / Cooling
Ebo Jager 150 watt heater.
3 inch Radio Shack fan.
Located at the back of the canopy blowing in.
Circulation
3 - Maxijet 1200 powerheads.
ReaSea Wavemaker.
Lighting
Icecap 660 electronic ballast.
1 - URI VHO Actinic 03 bulb.
1 - URI VHO Daylight bulb.
German endcaps.

There is only 220 watts of light on this tank but the LPS and Softcorals are doing well and the color of the tank looks really good..
