Looking forward to the pictures David! Hoping I can make progress on my build soon but life and some unexpected 'investments' came up. Quarterly bonus and some other moneys are in the not too distant future so I'll get this thing up and running in February.

Wow, the dollar signs I've seen in the last hour in this thread have made my head spin!!! Very impressive!!

Makes me rethink wanting a huge tank, but man this is impressive...

just read all 33 pages of this build. Very impressive. I personally like your collection of corals. some pretty good shots in there.

may have missed this detail, but how did your skinning job end up connecting to your steel frame? Got any pics?

there are metal tabs welded on the frame. the holes are drilled bigger then the screws to allow the wood to shrink swell

All the corals are loving the LED Radions. Colrol growth.... LED is the way to go.

Radions are the best out there!!!!

So this is 109x40x27? Beautiful. Just out of curiosity why did you choose those dimensions?

 

[bullitr]

Thanks. How are your kids doing.

The kids are great
When are you coming back I have more people and tank for you to see.
Anyway I took down 2 of my LEDs because its too much par in the sand bed.
Also trade a few corals for huge colonies and bought a lot of corals too
So my tank is starting to look like a reef again but I am so busy with my RODI mishap.

How's the weather over there?
