Thanks you very much ER. It's an honor to have served for you and everyone.
I totally understand you buddy.
I really like your old tank, but the scape of the new one
is much better.
This natural look is in my opinion essential in modern reef keeping.
There is less space for dirt to accumulate, flow is more effective and
there is lots of space for fish to swim.

Thank you for serving for our freedom, now lets get that monster tank going! How long do you estimate for the system to be up and running?

Thanks. Same to you 1.
Well yesterday I purchased the timber, screws and lots of stuff
to start building the stand.
I also found a company to manufacture my tank for
a decent price.
Now I'm trying to figure out what skimmer to use.
It's coming along slowly but steady
Thanks for your interest!

That's a great start. Slow and steady is the way to go. Trust me I know. It took about two years to get where I am now.

Thanks Eville. Some of the rock has to be reworked because of a little stupidity on my part. More scaping will progress in the coming days.

Quite interested in your tank setup and scaping. I am having mine installed starting today. Have lots of rock waiting in an old sump. LFS will do the install I am retired at age 70 looking to enjoy more and do less. but that won't work. I will be keeping quite busy with my 500g + 3X60g setup. Here is a picture of a huge skimmer that is recommended for me Quite large .. But supposed to be great skimmer. Behind it my tank on its way today

Thanks for posting on my thread. That's a nice top notch skimmer you have going there. Wishing you the best on your build. Do you have a thread on your tank?

I expect you to fill the whole thing by hand, one 5 gallon bucket at a time!

That's a workout(which I desperately need). I love my tank but sand. I'm surprised you didn't say the red cups they use for BBQs.
