AV99's custom 600g Reef Savvy on site build-Lots of pictures

Excellent build! Love the time lapse video.
Can't wait to see this tank up and running. I'm also a big fan of the old school sps.
 
What area of Ohio are you in? I'm in Solon, about 40 mins from the Lear drag swap which I also attended. I'm guessing you are close to the Newport aquarium, been there 2x myself...one of the nicest aquariums for sure. It would be cool to maybe see the tank when it's going someday...maybe ride the harley down there.
 
I am located in Dayton, Ohio. :thumbsup:

Another new arrival. I decided to go with a super-sized carbon media reactor for the big tank. Thanks, Geo's Reef and Premium Aquatics for this gem!

That is a big reactor. Take lots of pictures when you set it up. I am curious how easy you find it.
 
Up Next: 400 pounds of cherry-picked XL Pukani rock from Premium Aquatics!

For the next update, a special thanks goes out to my friends @Premium Aquatics who always exceed my expectations! Not only did Brandon cherry pick over 400 pounds of XL Pukani rock for my new project, but he also personally delivered the rock to my house on Saturday (from Indianapolis, IN to Dayton, OH) and helped me unload it too. Talk about amazing service! :thumbsup:

I really like the size and structure of Pukani rock and since it is uncured, I do not have to treat the rock for nuisance algae or pests either. My goal after curing the Pukani rock is to mix it with some of my mature, pest free Fiji rock from my grow-out system, which is filled with many types of sponges & beneficial bacteria as well.
