Wow, that looks terrific with the lights on and the rest of the room is darkened. It's going to look stellar when it's fully set up. Really exciting!

Did everything load properly??

 

[Socaltoaz]

Looks like tapatalk is working well. Goodbye photobucket!! Thank you for the suggestion.

Looks amazing!!!! Do you have any concerns about mounting the ballasts where they are? I would be concerned about moisture from the tank.

 

[csantanavaz]

My god that looks good! Now for some fish......

I didn't have concern. Nor did my electrician. There will be lids on the tank and we have an exhaust fan up there as well. The ballasts are about 3 feet above the water.

However- I'm certainly open to changing if it presents as a problem.

Very very nice Sam! I can't wait to see this tank once you get some life in it! It came out beautiful!

I'm curious, how do you access the overflow box? Is there a cut out? It isn't clear in the picture.

There is a cut out. Its just covered with a lid.

I think the Rock work looks fantastic. Too many tanks these days are doing the 'minimal' rock approach, which I think has a nice aesthetic, but is not an environment that more delicate fish do well in.

With your rock structure there is plenty of hiding spots for shyer and smaller fish, and giving them an area to hide and hunt for food will give you a lot more fish opportunities to add to the tank.


If you need help with the Apex (plotting what you need, what components to order, and where to order from), shoot me a PM. I have helped out and installed over 20 Apex and a few of them are extremely complex, with separate buildings for tanks and filtration equipment. So helping you plan for your tank vs sump garage I may have some insight for you.

Looks very... incomplete.

(I warned you about our impossible expectations. )
