Good for you. Great for the kids too. :thumbsup:

I have been reading your build for a couple of days now. thanks for reminding me why I am getting back into this hobby again.

Very nice job on your tank and glad to see all is good with your system.

"then the male died. I think she wore him out. I was able to get a replacement and it only took a week for them to mate."

Classic (wish i met a girl like that lol)

Also congrats to a few people here who gave great advice along the way.

Thanks for sharing your build. How is you hood going etc.

Thanks for the compliments... everyone. I am a displaced mortgage broker and money is tight... so I haven't built the hood and supplimental lighting yet.

A friend gave me a bunch of new corals... so it's starting to look better. I'll post some new pics later.

Kannin, can't wait to see your updated pics. Very nice job so far. Have enjoyed watching your tank develop!

Thanks J.

Kannin, tank is looking great! Why the PH on the front glass, is this temporary?

 

[Kannin]

It's temporary. I have a Barracuda on my closed loop and it's ristricted by about 40%. Right now, I only have the two outlets in the lower corners. Once I have the canopy installed... I am going to run a pipe over the top of the lighting and attach it to a Wavy Sea in that spot. Then, I can turn up the flow.

Ah, now that sounds great! Post up some pics of that mod when you get it completed.

You are an inspiration, are there any updates? How is the foam holding up?

 

[usefulidiot213]

I am curious as well, It's been almost a year sense the last post. I would love to see an updated photos of what the tank looks like now..

 

[Ebob954]

Great work. Thats how it happened to me I went to get water and walked out with a 265 gal. Gotta love the hobby.

 

[Kannin]

The foam is holding up well... but, I had a long fight with cyano. I think that the lack of circulation behind the wall might have created a good spot for detritus to build up. It has also led to issues with my sps. I have lost a few good sized colonies in the last couple of months. On the bright side... my banggaiis have pretty much paid for the upkeep. I get a batch of 40+ every 5 weeks... which fetches about $300 a month.

I'll try to get some new pics this weekend.
