Ghellin's 180 build.

[BigBallin]

I've read all pages. What's your thoughts on the gyre? I'm going to be setting up a 180 and was going to use a gyre

I love it! I have it a 50% and my tank has a strong flow across the tank and a nice strong undertow at the bottom back towards the Gyre. I would like to get a second one for crazy flow and alternate the two.

Maybe even one on the back wall to make a corkscrew flow?

I was contemplating that or an MP40 on my back glass to make random bursts.

Crown is on and glue is drying

Very impressive build. Great job on the DIY of the LEDs and canopy. Beautiful clams and aquascape.

Thank you very much!

Finally got my new skimmer! Upgrading from a very undersized Reef Octopus XS160 to a new Reef Octopus SRO 3000int.

Old.

New.

I'm loving this thread! Soon I'll be setting up the same tank. I still need to put together the frame/stand and hood. I plan on going with LEDs and t5's as well. I'll be putting together a sump with a buddy, but I don't plan onn having a refugium. Anyway, I'm loving your thread and will be following it.

Thanks for the kind words!

Time for some stain!

 

[worm5406]

Very nice job on the hood. Stain looks like a good color. Are you going to sealcoat it at all?

Your canopy stand turned out great. I love woodworking and can't wait to start my little build so I can build my srand/canopy. Definitely will be following along to see progress on the stand.

Absolutely will do a poly coat! I will kiltz the inside so it is bright white.

Canopy is done. Now to build the stand. I will be doing doors all at the same time.

Still fish only in the tank. Corals have a few more weeks in QT.

Really nice job on it. Looking forward in seeing the finished product.
