Eric's 60ish gallon build.

@Adauqua has a screen he previously used on this tank that I'm going to grab for the time being. I really can't afford the almost $500 just for a custom lid right now. Even if I could afford it, that much on a lid is crazy

I’d really recommend a ClearView Custom lid. I recently did one for the low boy and I really like it. I couldn’t find anywhere else who made that lid standards so I thought I was going to pay big bucks for something custom but these are actually a good deal and came out nice. Not sure your dimensions but if you’re under 7SF, it’s less than $200. Tsnuami style is $147.27, Classic is $177.43, Pisces EXO is $220.91. I went with Classic, but since my tank is 4x2 (8SF), it was a little more. Cutouts and Doors are extra of course

I woke up to my temp controller reading 71 this morning. After a closer look the temp probe had fallen out and was reading room temp. After replacing the probe I found the tank was actually at 85... I really need to break down that fluval so I can move all my Neptune stuff over. Having a redundant temp probe is a must.

I hate when that happens
Good thing there wasn’t anything at risk
I usually cable tie the heck out of my probes. It's so easy to have this happen since most come with terrible suction cups.
I always gorilla tape the wire to the back of the aquarium. I’m paranoid like that.
All caught up! Looking awesome. Stoked to see this stocked. I'll need to pick your brain on some plumbing issues soon.

Don’t trust that amateur. See the dumb mistake he made with the returns/overflow box?!?
NOTED! Although, I'm the reefing amateur around these parts to say the least. I'll be posting the upcoming build soon, and could definitely use your input too.
