What can I say that hasnt been said over an over again????

I actually almost cried during one of your updates...


There you go... Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it!!


Truly inspirational. Keep up the GREAT work, all of you!:thumbsup:
 
Wow. I can't keep up with this thread. Finally just caught up. Peter I'm so glad you're taking the time to share this with us. I'm really benefiting from the meticulous attention to detail of your build. I'm learning a great deal from the material and technology side of the hobby from Mr Wilson and others following along. What a fantastic project. You seem to be on a path for absolute success. I must admit I'm getting a little anxious for you to stock the tank. With a tank of this size there are enormous possibilities for livestock. Can you give us some hints as to what you're planning? sps? fish species? I guess I'll just have to wait.
 
I hope these pictures speak for the progress...

Hey Peter sorry I have been MIA for some time. I have been working on my own dream tank. I upgraded my 90 gallon to a 180 gallon, although I have had a somber couple of days with it. After a successful upgrade ( I thought) all my corals, inverts, clams are doing great. As of this morning though I have lost the remaining of my fish. I can't seem to figure out why but some sort of virus wiped them out very very quickly. It sucks when you put so much into something to expand your hobby and you end up loosing what you had before you get a chance to expand. Its great that your taking this so seriously and planning it so perfectly. This way your tank is bound to be a huge success. Anyways back to the drawing board for me. I suppose I can't be to down all my inverts are doing great.
 
The tank is big but the place for aquascaping guys look tight !
It's not a job for a tall guy like me (6'5'')
Nice job and don't stop the work and progress picture show !

looking good.

how long is any given piece of rock out of water?

what size is the sand and how deep is the sand bed?

Hi Carl, most of the rock was out for 4 to 5 hours while some was only out for one minute. We filled the tank with water in between aquascaping sessions. It involved a lot of work moving the water back and forth.

The sand is two layers of medium and coarse. 1 inch of each with the coarse on top. The goal is to keep it at two inches deep.
