I really like the cabinet

A river forming through "Skull Canyon" ( There is one rock that looks like a mean skull )

2 1/2 Hours later we are almost half way there

Out of time today so we have to fill rest in the morning

awesome! how did you have that much water in it in 2 1/2 hours?

 

[JCTewks]

Arnar, is that all RO/DI water? I hope so! I know Jnarowe said that it took 3 weeks IIRC to fill his 1000g filling it straight from the RO/DI filter.

 

[Arnar]

We don't need RO/DI water in Iceland. The water here is pure enough to use straight from the tap. No chlorine or other filtering.

 

[jnarowe]

that ain't right. but I believe it. How much Brennivin is going in?

Looking good, always good to see water going in. I like the way you have your rock work. Have you started putting your coral and fish list together?

Todays shots.

I hope these are not to big but it just looks so much better in this size.

Now I just need to add salt to get the cycle going but there is some problems with getting my 300kg's of salt from the store and they don't have it in stock and it is somewhere on it's way. I'm going to try to get some exact dates next week or try some other methoods. Anyone who can sell me 300kg and ship quickly next week ?

Overview

I like the way this canyon came out. "Skull Canyon" hehe

The outside view of the harbour is reflected there on the left and mr. Skull is on the right there.

I want to extend this a little more to have the tip going out of the water.

Can you see the Skull ?

A temp tank for the corals and fish I already have

The sump room


Thats it for now. I have a small video coming early next week.

WOW...ok, officially subscribing NOW...

Can I just say... no, I can't think of words to describe how freaking awesome that is. Heck, where I work, we can't even bring space heaters or snacks.

I may have missed it, but what are the cables across the top for?

They keep the sides together. Much better than braces that cast shadows

 

[FISHSTICK745]

I want a tank like that when I grow up!...lol

So the TDS of your water in Iceland is actually 0ppm? This is looking amazing. Your temp tank is more thoroughly stocked than my display tank.
