Got a decent amount of plumbing done today. And the tank is level. Still lots to do, but off to a good start I think.

Checked the floor joists before setting the tank in place. Joists run perpendicular to the tank, so it’s got plenty of support. Also, got the cabinet out with a little help.

Thanks! We’re pretty excited to get it up and running. At the moment, we’re just going to run 1 AP700. Likely won’t be sps dominate, but figure we could add another AP700 if we weren’t getting enough light for what we wanted to grow. I have a feeling I’m going to need to take my tank off the...

Just double checked and it’s just standard sub flooring underneath my carpet. After thinking it over last night and this morning, I think I’m just going to fill the tank and see how it sits after adding all that weight. I may add bolts through the floor as a back up, but I don’t want any...

A few months back my wife decided we should get a salt water tank. We *almost* bought one, but decided to try out a freshwater tank first. We ended up with a 75 gallon cichlid tank that we love, but I found myself constantly looking at salt water tanks. Came across a Facebook marketplace tank...

Lol. Yeah. It does get a little cold some times. My plan is to build a cabinet around the sump after it all gets plumbed in.

Yeah. I’ve been to License to Krill a few times. Jeff has actually giving me tons of advice on how to start my tank (and he’s cleaning my rock for me too!). I just put in an order with him for most of my equipment, which will hopefully be here Wednesday. His shop is about 10 minutes from my...

Thnaks guys. I’ll get a build thread going tonight hopefully.

Hello everyone! My wife, kids, and I decided to take the plunge and get a reef tank. We’ve been lurking on here and a few other forums for a little bit now and figured we should create an account. We’re in the process of starting our tank, and I have a fun weekend of plumbing ahead, lol...
