New 80 Gallon Deep Blue Set Up

[Reefpilot11]

My girlfriend purchased bd3616's (bill) 80 gallon rimless tank set up and we have been working on it the past few days. Tonight we got the tank wet and it is up and running without and problems! The stand was black when purchased and I sprayed it white to match the furniture in the room it's in. Figured I would share some pics for everyone to see!

good job. Love the pics of the fishes behind. Are those real pics or paintings?

 

[Reefpilot11]

Those are real pics that my girlfriend took and had them printed on a canvas using photobucket.

That's going to be real nice once it's all stocked up.

Noticed that once it got filled and of course Home Depot was closed by then. Going to get some shims today.

Appreciate all the feedback everyone, to say the least I am pretty jealous of her tank..

Anyone looking to get prints of their tank pics photobucket is always running a promotion on them, a 12x12 is only like $15.

You need to adjust the gate on the overflow, that will bring the water level up...

 

[Reefpilot11]

Bill, those pics were prior to have the pump running, it's perfect now.

Looks awesome!! Did you order the tank from online? I am looking to get the 80 rimless also and trying to figure out who to order It from. Thanks

 

[Reefpilot11]

Thank you! The rock work is done and the tank is cycling. Everything is "live" so I don't believe there will be much of a cycle but for good measure I put a large scallop in a women's sock to feed the bacteria that's in the tank. It was purchased from a local individual but I'm sure a store near you carries deep blue tank and could order one for you.

Nice setup.

Tank is running smoothly few fish and corals have been added.

Man I miss mine! This was by far my favorite tank I had!! Might save up and get another one!!!

 

[Reefpilot11]

I really love the footprint of this tank and the shallow reef you can create with it.
