200g in-wall finally "finished"

[Benny Z]

just thought i'd share the "end" result (quotations because as we all know we're never "done" changing things in this hobby).

now i just need to sit back and wait for her to grow in.

most recently i added a window ac (controlled via the rk2), ditched the large return pump/penductors and dart for a pair of vortechs and small return pump, and redid the light rack - which i intend to redo yet again as a fellow reefer has offered me a set of rails to make a mobile rack.

Sweet! How big is the Desjardini?

 

[Benny Z]

a bit smaller than the pbt. i'd say 4"ish.

i feel bad housing a sailfin in an 80" long tank. it was a rescue from a fellow reefer. fortunately, i think i have a 1200g home secured for him when he outgrows my tank.
