Thanks I actually had an opportunity to get a bigger tank at a steal but this one fits really well

What is your time schedule that you think you will end up being on with getting it done?

Going to try and finish as much as I can this weekend. Got family coming in a month so I want it to be at least running by then.

It always is nice to have family in town to look at the tank. From what I have found they don't seem impressed when it is just setup with no water.

I learned that people tend to like the things in your tank that I care the least about. That kenya tree and snail are amazing, lol

Got the tile set, need to grout it and tack down the carpet edges.

That is looking good. I was wondering how it would look and it looks better than I expected.

Thanks, got the grout in I will fix the carpet tommorrow. Managed to dig out most of the equipment I will need from all of the packed up boxes of reef stuff in the garage.

Glad to see that you are moving right along on your build.

I had an opportunity to play around with my plumbing today. I am reusing most of the connections from the previous owner but am changing the pipes into the sump. I added 2 valves for siphon and open channel. I will have the emergency drain go straight down into the return section.

Framing for canopy is complete, need to mount the lights and figure out support to wall.

I like the look. What metal are you building it out of?

Thank you, it is made from Aluminum and stainless hardware. Going to paint it black and then figure out the skin

Got some major progress done today! Finished plumbing and mounting components, finished the canopy frame and got the tank and stand in the house.

First draft of aquascape, I want to have fewer coral this go round and let them growout without competing for space

Got the brickwork cemented together, changed it up slightly. Installed wall penetrations to garage for water change and top off. Also cut the skin for the canopy. Making RO, so hopefully I will be cycling by the weekend.
