Looks great. Your finish work on those textured panels is awesome.

Ok I'll be the one to say it, I see room for a bigger tank

Either way looks really good! Nice project.

Uuhhh... Is that your qt? Lol. Jk.

 

[knukles55]

very nice job there

 

[jonnyu]

So I decided to stick with the 75. It's a nice tank and clean looking.
Well I got my counter tops done today. I some small trim I need to install on it but for the most part it's done. I went with ikea as they cost me about $300. As Lowes and home Depot was 3 times as much.

Giesemann infiniti
Just started installing it

So I got a lot of stuff done. I still have a lot of detail work but for the most part things are really coming together. Water test shows tank is fully cycled. So now to bring some of my fish that friends are holding for me back home. I'm planning on QT all fish for 5 days treated with pazipro and chloroquine phosphate. This way I'm keeping the risk of disease to a minimum.

Nice! Love how the scape turned out. You're going to love that light too. What bulbs are you planning?

Well ended up replumbing my tank. As durso tube is still loud. So I went back to the herbie style drains. I also replaced my iwaki pump with a waveline dc12000. It's definitely much quieter than the Iwaki-Pump. I can still hear it at 100% power. Does anyone have experience with ecotech dc pump ?

Looking good!

Do you not like the waveline? I was thinking of getting that or the jebao for my new build.

Love your aquascape. The tonga branches are going to be sweet when you start adding coral and stuff grows out.

Love the waveline. It's a much better
Build than the jebao. I have owned 3 different jebao dc pumps. Just out of the box you can tell it's a much better pump. Power supply twice the size. Controller has a heat sink. Which is a bug plus as jebao tends to have controller issues. I never had a problem with my jebao pump but I know and have seen many post of problems with power supply's and controllers. Now for the pump itself it is much beefier looking than the jebao. Only reason I might sell mine off its to go with a ecotech pump as I really like there stuff and figure why not.
