Clkwrk's 180gBB SPS/LPS tank setup and progression log

[clkwrk]

Okay got another confirmation I was told 4pm tomorrow it will be ready to go. My guess is he is finishing it now and needs to sit 24hrs.

I take it you got the tank,... Is it everything you expected? I hear you on the drink too, as soon as I am out of work I am going to do the same.

[clkwrk]

Yes sir.....And yes so far so good . I will find out for sure once I get it upon the stand and unveiled

 

[Bax]

Good Luck!!!

Thats great chris. I can't believe that they wouldn't even ORDER one for you! Tropical Treasures would have, it would be a lee mar too (love their aquariums).

 

[Wiskey]

I like Le-Marr too, I have a le-Marr 180 RR low iron front glass and it is a sweet tank. 1/2 inch glass all around too.

looks fantastic chris. I love the reflection of the tanks in the acrylic, like a hint of what is to be.

Will there be any closure on the sides between the back of the tank and the wall? Will you always have access from the wall side? (I like the pic of you hanging on like some kind of filter)

 

[Wiskey]

Very sweet, did you say you were going to add trim to the top of the stand to cover the bottom peice of acrilic? What do you plan to do for the trim? Do you plan to do the same to cover the top peice of acrilic?

Very nice job,
Whiskey

Thank you Tiffany! As for the void behind the tank there will be doors and a fram that goes there. Although I may do it hidden door style like my 120

I am also thinking of false doors ofr the side ???????? But not sure yet. Same with the rear acess not sure if I want hidden or a door .........I think hidden because there isnt a way to keep the back of the side door alined with a side access door.
