I dont mind but ill be honest I kinda forgot. Im probably around 1800 into it. If I were to do it again I would T slot tubing....if design changes over time you can raise and lower shelving or move supports or if you tank grows you only have to purchase sticks needed....once your welded up thats...

Thanks, yeah I got a few folks in my giving me crap about the tank being dry for so long. I wont lie after I thought about the entire system being 400 gallons and at 10% I was sorta thinking maybe this is large enough but I just love when the fish can swim freely and elegantly. Stresses me out...

I was driving to work today thinking about this and I def think you’re right. I have some scrap 4x4s that I’ll be tossing under the tank tonight just in case. These products are too expensive to take a chance.

I had to think what you were referring to. My best guess is either the skimmer or the stereo gear. I’m putting money on stereo gear.

It’s sorta hodgepodge of pictures through the journey. Stand had to go back in the garage to get the side cabinets put on. That’s why the tank is on saw horses. I highly doubt it will sag in the vertical plane. You got 4 walls with a one piece euro brace and it’s 1” thick. I thought about the...

That would work to, I’d still stick a fan on it though. Brings me back to when my 75 cracked on me and trashed my master bedroom years back.

Something like this for a few hours should do the trick

Skimmer was a vertex omega 200 but will be swapped out for a life reef 48” external.

Decided lighting will 3 metal halide 400w radium bulbs paired with 2 orphek amazona 960s

Vertex RX-C 6D Calcium Reactor

Now that the tank and top is in place it was time to play with scape ideas. Tonga branch with pukani is always my favorite, took me months to source the rocks. What a painful process that was to gather all this up.

After months of waiting the tank finally arrived, upon first view I thought it was so large. After months of staring at it now I wish I went larger....story of the average reefer right?

Just wanted to introduce myself along with my tank build. Bit of a slow build but nothing good comes from moving fast in a reef right lol. Anyways the tank is an Advanced Acrylics external overflow 70'' L x 32'' D x 28'' H custom made to fit the house we previously lived in. Just moved and if I...

That’s sorta how I’m seeing it. Plus imo I’d never start dosing validium and bromide for example cause we really don’t have solid data to what it’s even in there for. Idk, I was all about triton and I really wanna believe in thier system. I def think it works cause we have the success proven but...

Seems like a lot of these "methods" are just the old way of reefing just with no water change and trace elements....am I reading this wrong? I was all into triton but then sorta fell off it for some unexplained reason. Have ICP tests gotten good enough to trust fully?

Right to the sump!

I bought a used set up and it came with this sump, it was way undersized for what I wanted. Sold that unit, my custom advanced acrylics sump comes next week. Can’t wait!!!!

Always ready to tig weld!

No worries, just doing your job. Now I got a little inside joke about it. Glad to be here.
