240g closed loop reef

[kenandmoose2]

I moved up from a 40b to a little bigger tank [emoji41]. I have been piecing together this set up since February and finally have the tank at the house and on the stand. That was an adventure....let's just say that the tank alone must weigh 450 pounds. Pumps, sump, ato reservoir/dosing chamber, and skimmer are here. Waiting on plumbing parts and looking at upgrading lights. I'll be posting pictures of the build here as I go. To start with here's the tank on the stand.
I still have a lot of work to do under the house to support the tank and I want to run 2 completely new circuits for the pumps and lighting. I don't need breakers tripping and leaving the tank powerless. I have a vectra L1 pump I will be using for my sump return pump and a dolphin 6250 type4 for the closed loop. That should be plenty of flow in the tank and hopefully I won't need any power heads on the tank at all. More to come as things come together[emoji111]

I got a case of the "can't help its" today and I'm getting impatient with looking at the tank with nothing in it. So a trip to the LFS was a bit spendy but I came home with nearly everything I need to get cycling. And maybe something that I didn't "need" but I have it now . The cerebra. Plumbing parts should be here this weekend and I'll be going under the house Saturday to support the floor. . Still waiting on the last bit of rock and the sand to get here. Then the aqua scaping starts.... Not my strong point.

What kind of lights are those?

Good luck! Just stick to the 4 points of spatial interest and your Aqua scape will look great. A tip, put your camera up and look through it while you Aqua scape as that will be the main eye for this thread and will turn out even better as your focal points won't change through the process
