Earlier this week I replaced my 180 gallon with a Lee Mar 225 gallon. I wanted to share the pics with everyone in hopes I can gain suggestions and comments.

Nice and clean. Beautiful new tank. How long did the entire process take?

Very nice. I think you will be very happy to have the extra depth. Good luck.

The entire process only took 5 hours. I made some modifications to it to reduce noise.

I removed the filter sock but thinking of putting it back on because the nori is swimming around in the sump.

Well done! Very nice clean setup. Before reading the caption, I was like OMG the scratches on the floor :eek1:...then I saw felt.
