Thank you for the compliment.
The last coat of Mud will hopefully be on tonight in the aquarium lounge, then we sand and prime that area. After that I am moving th etank off the stand to complete that area with sanding and painting. The I will place the tank back on the stand and begin the plumbing!!
Looks like the end of the month I will be starting plumbing this monster
I am thinking of renting a PVC pipe bender now to avoid 90 degree joints and to have as few joints as possible. This will give me fewer failure points because ther will be fewer glued joints in the system.
The light rack will consist of at least two 150 watt 20K spots on Ice cap E ballast, along with 3-5 LED fixtures, 3-4 VHO actinics and the 14 K SE aquaconnects in the LAIII reflectors.
My plan is a very measured one. I will be shopping for only the best in frags and cultured colonies for this tank with an emphasise on extreme table tops. The aquascaping was purchased with that concept in mind. I have pictures of the Sipidan Reefs from Gary Mahdl from his diving excursions there. These are my inspiration for creating a table top dominated reef aqaurium.
The fish species will be Anthias and Genicanthus Angle fish. I will of course have the obligate clownfish though. I am also going to transfer my Royal Gramma and my Leopard Wrasse into the tank.
