180 custom reef build started 8/15/13 !

Man, this thing is a beast!

180's new home, thanks to Kevin and everyone for helping!

Some pics of her in her final resting place !









 
Got question:-/ great thank. Why does it don't have the black thing on the return.? I am planing a 180 gallons and like your stand. :-) will watch you closely

Thank u
 
Thanks ! I'm not sure what your referring to? Do you mean the over flow covers?

The dual over flows have covers over them, so you don't see the plumbing from the front of the tank
 
It's my QT tank

Had 2 clowns in their for a few weeks, they just finished two doses of Prazi Pro, and starting Copper Treatment this week, so when they come out of QT in 4 weeks, my 180 should be close to being cycled :)
 
I'm Stuck!

I Could have filled the tank tonight to below the overflows. I have 120lbs of Fiji Pink
Live Sand ready to go, but am stuck on aqua scaping it

I sold all my live rock, as I wanted something unique for this tank

The base rock has to go down on the bottom on the tank, then water, then sand, but I can't do anything till the base rock goes in, and aqua scaping is done

I was looking at Marco Dry Rocks, but I'd like to hand select the rock

I'm thinking of drilling the rock, PVC or Acrylic Rods, lots of tie wraps, etc, with a sleek design

Ohh well, I'll spend hours tonight researching and looking at photo's of aqua scaping once again
 
Marco... Are you going to Paint the Back outside Flat Black or Dark Blue? It sure will cut down on the reflections, also a Lot of Fish especially don't like to see their reflections, it causes very aggressive behavior on the fish...Bruce
 
Sorry, what i meant was how big is the QT? I was wondering the size so i could get an idea how big your 180 tank and stand really are..

Hey Bruce !

Yeh, the 180 was painted flat black on the back side of the tank, before we bought it in.

I was just reading for the past 2 hours all the aqua scaping threads on here, and really like the dark blue also

I'm all most wondering if it should scrape the black off and go dark blue, man it looked good

Sorry, the QT tank is a 29 Gallon, and I rolled the 75 Gallon in front of the 180 which will be the sump for the 180, so you can get a comparision

QT tank in corner 29G
Sump 75G on a dolly in front of the stand
DT is 180



 
I'd honestly hang the lighting from the ceiling. I plan on doing that with my 120, two Radions hanging over it should look pretty sexy :-P I love the look of open air above a tank and a light hanging above it.
