Wow, Looking Good!
We just got done quoting a very similar project a couple hours ago.
126x42x48 room dividing reef with a 71' run to an outdoor 10'x10' aquarium filtration room.
By the way, I completely agree with the previous posts, ditch the wet dry trickle filter unless you plan on going with a fish only system with a high bioload.

Thank you. I certainly feel blessed to be able to provide a great home for my family.
Ill do my best. At this point we are in limbo as we wait for the guts of the house to go in. AC venting is done. Electrical and plumbing start monday. Then fire sprinklers and low voltage (speaker wires and alarm wires) and finally insulation. Im told drywall will begin in about 5-6 weeks. Too long if you ask me.
- In the meanwhile, the tank stand is being fabricated and will be delivered in about 2 weeks. We are going to put that in place and get it situated. Tank itself goes in after drywall and paint.Thank you for following along. I too hope the home and tank will be amazing.
Sounds like a great project. With regards to the wet dry, we are planning on doing a fish only tank- no corals. As much as i love to see a gorgeous reef tank, its a ton of work beyond my capabilities. If you have alternative suggestions to the wet dry, Id be happy to consider as there is always room for improvement in our current plan.

You've got a pretty bad case of TMM.... Nothing wrong with that.... I know a few guys like this too. They usually go for things that go VROOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!
Road America, Pebble Beach, that sort of thing.
Good friend of ours did a "restomod" for the president of [insert name for total house generator company, here].
From your renderings it looks like you will have an impressive collection in your garage. Would you care to share some pics?
Will be an awesome tank for sure. You will love it, although I doubt you will be able to keep it fish only forever. :bigeyes:

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the note. I do like things that go vroom but Im fickle with cars and get bored easily so I try not to waste too much money on them as they always lose value.
With regards to TMM- no matter what your income level, there is always someone out there making more money so TMM is a relative term.
Im looking forward to posting more photos as the build progresses. Thanks for following along.

I would have ran the Pex inside of conduit so you can add/remove pex as needed incase of breakage, or if you needed more flow, oversize the conduit. A little late now though I guess... unless you want to bore it and re-do it
Looking forward to being able to see the rest of the pics.

We actually discussed this quite extensively. The pipes that you see are large enough that if I wanted to, I could run some pex inside the pipes but after extensive consultation with the plumbers and builders, everyone is confident that this wont break or leak (its very thick plastic).

This tank is going to be too awesome not to be a reef. No one is going to be envious of a 1000 gallon FOWLR. We want to see 3' mushrooms and SPS like tree trunks. C'mon man if not for yourself do it for us out here who wish we could.
I know. No clue what is happening. I'll reupload photos next week.m in Vegas for the weekend for some r&r.
