Nice build. Love the stand and tank. Looks great. What fish do you have in there?

I really like this stand. I'm planning out my 40B project and will take notes from your work.

Great looking stand. I'm going to use this to build mine tomorrow.

Thanks guys! There's also a YouTube video that shows step by step on assembly. Its actually what I followed to build this stand.

Thanks, Benson. I've got a McCoskers wrasse, a Six line, a Lyretail Anthias, missbar perc, blue/green chromis, and Scooter Blenny. There's also a candy stripe pistol. It was paired with a Wheelers goby, but the goby disappeared after 3-4 weeks.

Sweet! Pretty straight forward, but let me know if you have any questions.

Picked up a few acros from Reef Odyssey, a locally run coral supplier here in Santa Barbara.

Some top down, and other random pics for growth comparison.

This Pearl Berry was bleaching out when I got it. You can see nice blue starting to come back, on the right side.

Another milli from Reef Odyssey. Hard to see, but its getting pinkish around the polyps.

Red Planet starting to color up.

Its been a while since my last update. These were after a water change, so water is kinda cloudy.

Very nice work! How do you like the digital reef keeper?

Thank you. The Reefkeeper is great! Makes it easy to control modules and probes. I run a PH probe, temp probe, ATO, and heaters off mine. And that's pretty basic use.

Got the Hydras up! Really happy with the color!! Here's a before and after pic. I was playing with settings in this pic, and have since made some changes. Its now 12" above the surface, and on a 50% acclimation mode for 3 weeks.
