Looks good Clay. Do you have a hole drilled in the return pipe after it enters the tank in case the power goes out?

 

[clayspst]

no there is a check valve so the water wont run out of the tank

 

[clayspst]

Congrats dude. What are you going to put in it? How about some pics?

Is that an Oceanic tank? I have the exact same tank and stand that I have had for over 15 years, its been empty for the last 7 years and I'm going to be building into a reef in a few years. Mine has the same measurements and is not drilled. I was thinking when I bought it that they said that it was not tempered and the bottom could be drilled out. How thick is your glass by the way?
Looks great by the way!

 

[clayspst]

i think it is an oceanic. the glass is 3/8 thick.

looks like you are ready for some frags ... when your tank is ready, maybe we can do a club donation program where everyone in the club bring frags for your new tank in the next meeting

 

[clayspst]

the tank is all ready. if you guys would like to do that it works for me.

Looks good Clay, cant wait to see in person.

 

[SethSPST]

Thanks for the update Clay. Looks good.

Looks great. What do you want to stock your tank with, SPS, LPS, softies, mixed, etc? Since your tank is being set up from scratch, this gives you a chance to have it set up just the way you want it. An example is by not putting in mushrooms if you want an SPS dominating tank. Just ask Tom about that!

 

[clayspst]

yeah it will be mixed. with no mushrooms or kenya trees.
