Hello! It's been quite some time since I've logged on RC, almost two years according to my last visited tracking device. This thread will track the progress on my new build. Here's where we are at...
The wife and I were looking to move earlier in 2014. At the time I had a fully stocked 95 gallon mixed reef and decided if we were going to move I would start a new build on a new tank. Slowly sold all livestock then (most) equipment and was sad and tankless for a few months. In August a house popped up on the market we fell in love with and by September we had closed and moved in. The heat was on, getting our old house on the market in October. Loads of stress having two mortgages, two electric bills, two HOA dues and two water bills and there I was, tankless with no zen outlet. In November I came across a steal on a 180 gallon glass bowfront (72" x 17"-24" x 30") tank, stand and sump and it's since been sitting impatiently in my garage, waiting to feed off my disposable income. In December we received an offer on our old house and are scheduled to close the 29th of January, WHAT A RELIEF!!! Assuming the deal doesn't fall apart I should be able to start putting some real work into the build. I've slowly been picking up some plumbing parts and cleaning the tank and old equipment. I'll post my set up ideas a bit later on this thread, have to run to a meeting.
