Anderson Family Reef - 1200 Gallon System

I can imagine how much work it took to tear down the system. Never a fun task. When you set up the new system I'm sure it's going to be even more impressive.
 
I have to say that this is a first. I've sewn the building of a tank but never a build of a back down. I'm sad to see this but can't wait to see your new build which I know will be just as awesome if not better.

It's taken a few weeks, a piece at a time... Yes, the next reef system will be off the charts! Thanks for checking it out. :fish1:

Funny you should notice... I have followed many threads that just stop midstream... I'm in the hobby for the duration and this is not the end just the beginning of the next sweet build. :wave:

Thought I would show a few shots of how this all comes apart. :thumbsup:

I must say the filter room and basement for that matter is very quiet!!

I have learned a ton from this build and will make some key adjustments to the next system. I will make it even easier to maintain and implement some better measures to keep up on the dosing demands of a large SPS system. I will also put in place some better moisture control solutions.

Wane reef on buddy! :wave:
 
When I was little I told my mom about the type of fishtank I eventually wanted to build. She told me that what I wanted was a career, not a hobby.:rolleyes:

It would be nice for us all to make that switch, and get paid for using our imagination in our own homes. Just for doing something for our families and ourselves to enjoy.:headwally:

Daniel. :bigeyes:
 
thanks for posting the break down pics. You are right, you never see that part of a build. Looking forward to the next one.
 
WOW, I've been busy with moving from Huntsville to Florida and have been out of touch for about 5 months. When I left you were going strong and now your gone.

I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT BUILD!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck
Joe

PS. My tank is still back in Huntsville sitting in my father in laws garage while I'm in Tampa. I miss my tank so I expect you will start building a new one soon.
 
I'd seen your tank on youtube, but never read the build thread, just went through the entire thing, all 72 pages lol. Quite an epic process, can't wait to see how you top it with the next tank!

Hi Daniel,

Agreed! Good points! I feel the same in that it was plenty of work and most the time it was just for my eyes... It would be great to one day make a few $$ playing the reef game!

Good luck buddy!

Thanks for following along! I can't wait to get the next one up and running learning from the last one and making this one even better!
