Thanks to John at FAOIS, this monster will be done soon. It has already been started being built, and is paid for! Cannot wait to get her home!!!

Question is......

Will it ever have water in it??

 

[TampaReefer79]

The 375 is going into it.

Oh and HARDEE HARR HAR. You're hilarious.

And actually, it WON'T ever have water in it if I can't figure out how to build a stand for it.

[TampaReefer79]

26"

Some goodies starting to trickle in:

My "Tang apartment complex" is almost complete:

The tank is a peninsula and so the side with the overflow (which is external) is blacked out. It's getting so close I can taste the acrylic dust. Also, I've changed my mind about the skimmer. I'll no longer be using the MRC MR6R and will be instead using an I-Tech Beast which is internal vs the external MRC.

I also found a local reefer getting out of the hobby and so I purchased his entire livestock package to go with the few hundred pounds of live rock and few corals I already have. (The seller didn't hold his breath)

Some more of the coral package I picked up:

Some more toys.

New RODI...

Apex to control the show...

For water top off - Geo Kalk reactor with Tunze Osmolator

Water will be returned via Reeflo Barracuda and I'll be using an MRC CR2 calcium reactor. Lighting is LumenMax Elite reflectors with Radium bulbs run by Bluewave ballasts.

Tank is home! Apparently Derek Jeter's tank had to get done before mine... In all seriousness, DJ's tank that just got completed was 2" thick and 1500 gallons! There was a few scraps laying around the fabricator's shop from Jeter's tank and I couldn't believe how thick 2" acrylic is. On to the stand!
