[spleify]

Absolutely stunning tank!!

Great work!

Looky what I picked up today.
Going to get a second one soon.
This one will be for RO/DI making/storage and will also be my ATO container.
When I get the second one I will plumb them together and use the second for saltwater mixing/water changes.

65g, food grade.

Great video!
Thank you for going piece by piece explaining what the equipment does.
Love the dry dock area for the vortechs, that arrangement makes the tank look even more clean and streamlined.
And of course your reef tank, and sump are gorgeous in the video. :beer:

Nice storage tank! I have the same one but in a 25g. They are very sturdy. I'm debating whether to get a 2nd one for mixing salt, currently using 20g brutes. You'll have to post some pics of how you plumb it together.

Hey man,
I heard that Saphire Aquatics went out of business. Have you heard this?

Yesterday I also got my acrylic strips cut for the trim on my stand. I painted the back of them with aqua spray paint to mimmic the back-painted glass backsplash in our kitchen.
Attached with 3M tape.
From design to completion!

And of course or new puppy Wally had to help.

It's the kind from the Muppets I think. Same kind as Rowlf. I think their proper name is Fuzzy Brown dog:fun4:

lol, it's an Australian Labradoodle. He'll be about 55lbs, shaggy, and more of a dirty blonde color.

That's what the breeder told you. I year later, full grown muppet.

 

[d2mini]

haha, they totally remind us of muppets when they are older. That's why we got him!

This is a pic of what he'll look like by 1yo. This is his brother from the previous litter.

Omg, his brother has a rosette in his hair?

Very clean job, you work very well!

Hahaa, it took me a second or two to realize why his head looked all misshapen...and was looking at me with one extra eye.

Stand looks great. How about a shot with the tank in the room?

 

[d2mini]

I'll get another full room shot soon.

Meanwhile here's a few more closeups.

Ricordea

One of 3 blue/green chromis, the tank's first fishy inhabitants

And my new buddy the decorator crab decided on a wardrobe change since he was dining on the YELLOW sponge now.

Is that the ric I sent you?

 

[d2mini]

Actually, that one is one i pulled from my old tank. It's a little bigger than the one you sent me but it's the same exact color. The one you sent is doing well, but it's in a different location. I need to move them together.

 

[liverock]
