Gimmito's 450 L-Shaped Display

and of course to clean the tank...one serious Great White acrylic magnet cleaner.

Wooow... great build, the quarantine setup looks awesome. Do you have some wide angle pics of the garage - sorry, I mean fish room - to see how it all fits together?
Can't wait to the the aquascape you'll pull of with that kind of tank :)

Since I only have a one car garage the other side is only cabinets, tank less water heater, and electrical service panel...nothing sexy. I'll post a picture of the whole garage once I finish the fishroom. ;)

I was thinking of using chemgrate for the base of the rock scaping, but it's some pricey stuff. I ended up ordering 2 dozen 1 1/2" cross tees and will use schedule 80 for the platform.

Here's a pic of some nice Fiji rock I picked up from Ted (ExtremeReefer) and Bill (CookieJar). They range from 15 lbs to a whopping 40 lbs on the one on the bottom. This bring my total to about 300 lbs and I think I'm good to go once I get my rockscaping materials.

A pic of the new rock curing. I finally got to see the H&S A110 in action...its been pulling some nasty stuff out.

I also got a chance to install the fire rated doors w/my bud Ethan. For those of you thinking of doing a in wall tank from a living room to the garage, you must maintain a 1-2 hour fire rated door in the garage ....and it ain't cheap.

I started plumbing the qt. I'm using a Eheim 1260 with about 6 feet of head to the top of the tank. I'm teeing off the pump to feed the H&S skimmer and was planning to tee off for the uv sterilizer. I could place the uv sterilizer above the sump or up right before the first inlet. Any thoughts or should I just scrap the uv sterilizer idea ?

I bought a couple of 1" Sea Swirls for the frag tank. I'm using a Eheim 1262 for the return. I'll be teeing off the pump to feed the H&S skimmer also. I'm debating whether to hard plumb the Sea Swirls or use grey spa flex...any thoughts ?

My buddy Ethan finished installing the FRP. You'll notice three 1" holes on the top left for the inlet/outlet for the 40 gallon fuge. I'm also using uniseals to cover up any holes I make as well to help keep the resonance at bay. I have an extra hole in case I add something else down the line.

I was off today and went to Aquarium Showroom to pickup a bigger sump for my frag tank. Max had a roughly 50 gallons used eco system sump for sale. I dropped it off at Gen's to patch a bulkhead and give it some elbow grease. I met Jose (Blue Voodoo) and shot the breeze until Gen got back (cool guy). I also picked up 2 Lumenmax Elite reflectors at Aquarium Showroom for the frag tank. I hope to get Gen to make a light rack for the FT also.
