265 gallon build

[Pdandy]

Had my diatom outbreak. And it was bad.



Got a clean up crew from reef cleaners and they are slowly working away at it.



Also got a few chromis.



Finished staining the stand and trimming it out. Doors are still wet and propped up to dry.





Next up is new bulbs for my light. Ordered four blue plus, two coral plus, one actinic, and one purple plus. Should be here tomorrow.

I am now running a Neptune apex controller with two of their wav pumps for water movement. I have the power monitor function turned on and am using a 750VA battery backup in case of power outages. Doing 40 gallon water changes once a month.

Nice! I'm also in process of setting up a 265

Got the ro unit hooked up and started filling the tank.







Also got my skimmer.

How did you hook the RO up to the sink? I would like to do this and then put a float valve in my Top off container so that it's never empty

Here is my 265 in my basement. We are moving in the near future and I convinced my boss to set it up at work. It has been freshwater up until now and I have decided to do a fowlr (possible reef in the future).





Here I am laying out my sumps where the tank will be going. Should have the tank moved by this weekend.

What did you uses for your sock holders? Acrylic or glass?

Sock holders are water jet cut out of glass
