410 gal in wall build SW Florida

Great looking setup.. The corals that seem to bleach easy have you thought about moving them down in the tank? It might be easier to move a few corals that are getting to much light instead of moving the lights and changing intensity that might effect them all.

I am no longer having a problem with bleaching corals. I think I finally have the lights on a pretty good schedule.

What lfs do you use? If you don't mind answering.

I have used the Coral Corral in Tampa for a few frags and Dom and Nicks Oceans and Reefs in Bradenton.

wow
what phenomenal growth!

I have all of the same equipment except the Genesis system. Maybe the regular automated water changes are the key to so much growth?

You have answered some of my what if. I love the placement of the tank. I can see the frame work needed for the tank. The trim work around the tank is beautiful. I want to the same and you have inspired me to do so. Thank for sharing your build. If you had to do it again would you use a metal stand?

Not sure about that but it does make it easy. I have it set to change out 5 gallons a day and then you forget about it. Pretty simple to use.

No, I don't mind the wooden stand. It was pretty easy to build and I like having the room under it for storage. The only thing I would have done differently was to make the room a little bigger. I thought I would have plenty of room in there but it didn't take much to fill it up.

Here are a few updates to the tank and coral growth. There are a few changes here and there. Everything is doing fine and moving along.

The Purple is the dominate one. He beat up to two yellows initially but they get along fine now. It helps that they have room to get away from each other.

Shoot me a message if you have time to swing by and check it out.

I will try to post so more pics of the tank room later today.

For those that were asking, here are some current pics of the tank room. As you can see its how it always looks, no clean up done. LOL
