Rostatos Reefer 450 and Reefer 170

It should fit nicely on the right side of the tank.

Will put felt in the bottom and paint black.

Here’s the start of my plan.

I found a 3-5/8” drawer panel and some old plywood from out remodel. The plan is to build a three sided sliding box for all the electronics.

My kreg pocket hole jig is one of those tools I bought for one project figuring it would sit on the shelf after, and I use it all the time

Looking good!

Yeah kreg jig makes life so easy. Just gotta go get some fine thread 1-1/4” screws for the oak, and 1” screws for the 3/4” to 1/2” bottom.

Well, there goes the reactor budget. Picked up a bunch of eye candy yesterday. This are just after dipping so they are pretty pissed.

Wife says“I want a scoly garden.” I say challenge accepted

 

[Coral reefer]

That’s gotta cost more than the reactor?

You are worst than me man lol. We both need help

About half.

That’s awesome. Scoly garden is something I want eventually. I’m interested if they all open up and get hungry at the same time or if it’s staggered. I love the changes those lps go through during the day. Enjoy!

 

[Rostato]

Dirty glass but things have opened nicely

Where’d you get all the new corals from?

Adding to wish list: scoly garden

Finally glued and screwed the new electronics board. Had to use three different types of pocket hole screws to do it. After glue dries and a bit of sanding I need to paint it and add a knob or two.

Oh, I failed to mention that I lost another fire fish. Down to one. I kinda figured that would happen. But still sad.

I need a wrasse! Like seriously
