I have all the cuts done and some 1/2 inch sand and ply on the stand I need to mortar down the cuts and finish the stand. I had to redo all the plumbing for the returns beacuse of leaks I didnt glue them correctly lesson learned.

The tank is fish only right??

Is the Live rock needed?
I had a reef, leak ended that adventure, restarting with a fish only and am not sure on BB or sand Live rock or not,.

Nice BIG tank.

Floor looks great!
This is shaping up to be a top notch FOWLR system.

you might want to read the grouper article in this month's issue of RK mag on the front page of the website, especially if you are planning on getting juvenile fish... i have no idea how big your grouper is, but from the article, they tend to eat whatever they can get in their mouth... i'd hate for you to lose a juvie angel or something because of that.

Ok seeing that I have some HDPE left over from the BB I decided to go ahead and use it for some baffles. I would like to have a fuge in my sump so I did the best I could with paint and did a basic plan on the left in the pump intake and on the right in red are the over flows. Will this baffle arangement be OK???? what should I change if anything and how can I glue the HDPE to the acyrlic sump.

Almost finished with the stand I still need to nail some things on and mount the doors better. Fill the holes and paint the thing white But I am happy.

Finished the canopy construction today I still need to putty,sand and paint everything white. I was aslo thinking of getting a nice colum and cutting it in half and putting it on the outside of the tank in front of the side overflows . I t would look like the colums would be holding up the canopy and it would also hide the inner workings of the side overflows.

Tank/Stand/Canopy is looking good, canââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t wait to see the ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"œcolumnââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ ideaââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦

Looks like someone had a little accident with their blinds (far left)ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦

 

[cmulawka]

Blinds are just proped up wrong.
