launchnukes' reefer 750 xxl build

[launchnukes]

I've been out of the hobby for a few years now after taking down my 300dd/500 gal system in 2013.

I got the itch to get back into the hobby and finally decided to pull the trigger again. I currently don't have a spot for a fish room so I wanted a tank that would give me space to have fun but not too big to maintain without a fish room. After seeing a few of the red sea reefers I decided to go with the 750xxl in white.

Tank got delivered on Monday and more items are on the way!

Tank arrived yesterday 4.30.18

unboxing

Now i've gotta get some guys to help me get it in the house

Good choice, now more info on that Gallardo in the background.

I have a 2004 360 Spider, so we have similar tastes in hobbies.

 

[moondoggy4]

I can see I can see.

Where you worried when they did not check which color stand you were getting?

Haha. Yeah. I opened The box to check right away. Then I realized The box on top has the cabinet door pieces and said white somewhere on it.

Good eye! Love the 360 spider, it was one of my favorite cars for years...and still is. Timeless body style

The Gallardo is a 2009 LP560-4 eurocharged and rsc exhaust.

Still waiting on the mounting arms for the mitras. i want to have them installed before placing the tank on the stand. in the mean time i've assembled the stand...

Sump...

working on the aquascaping...please excuse the mess in the garage.

GHL Flex arms for the Mitras have finally arrived. assembled and mounted last night. Very impressed with the quality of the GHL stuff. now i've just gotta hide the wires and get the tank on the stand and the plumbing can begin!

Was there a tank in those pictures. Only saw the Gallardo... but not enough of it. :0) I'm looking for a first gen with gated manual actually. May be next year but it's hard not to keep an eye out.

 

[moondoggy4]

Dang it, I am back to I can't see again.

haha. yeah, i love the car. i'll get some pics up soon. I was originally looking for a gated gen 1 but after driving the lp car my mind was blown. it's been my dream for a long time to have a bright orange lambo! you'll love it.
