180g "HECKEL PROJECT" 2012
Hey guys I'd like to star my Heckel project this mount (February) using my old 180g tank that has been empty in my garage for at least 3 years, this project is going to take time but I will keep you guys update. In this project nothing is going to be fancy I will be using whatever I have on the tank + I have to fix it ... is missing the bottom part of the stand some of the filtration is missing too I have to replace it. I hope u guys enjoy the project..
180g (Start fixing it tomorrow)
75g (Running right now for quarantine)
Here are some pics of the tank in my garage

Welcome to the Wild Side Auturo. Another Ga. tank going to wilds, I like it. I don't remember, are you already using R/O or are you going to R/O for the heckles? Have you already gotten your stock?
Re: 180g "HEKEL PROJECT" 2012
I had one of those double trickle setups on my 180 gallon reefs back in the day. Had a little giant pump run it too. Good luck with your cleanup. Are you doing a leak check on the tank since it has been sitting? Looking forward to seeing this up and running.
