Howdy from Texas,
I am in the process of setting up my new 225 custom. It is 60X36X24. I am taking down the 8' tank in the living room and the 45 gallon in the "man cave" (I hate that term...lol) and combining the two.
Anyway, I just wanted to put out some good info on some great folks who have been truly helpful. There is no order so I hope none of you get offended.
First, Jason Gregory of Custom Fabrications Inc in the Seattle area. His website is worldclassaquariums.com He built the tank the size I desired and helped me figure out everything else that I needed to get it together. He built the refugium as well and had it all shipped to me. It was truly affordable. And, as always, it is a beautifully crafted piece of art. Thank you Jason.
Next is Dan Lehky at saltycritter.com Dan is very knowledgable about equipment and most anything you could ask. Even though I have been in the hobby longer than most member here have been alive, I still stop and ask questions on everything. Yes, some folks get tired of hearing the questions, but I don't know it all. Dan is a great go to guy. Call and talk with him. Tell him Paul said HI.
Then there is Jeremy at coralvue.com I had some issues with their new titanium heaters and he informed me that they were being pulled from the shelves and that a new manufacturer was building the new heaters and controllers. Hey, I had to give them a try. He had no problems replacing the first ones I purchased with the new manufacturer's products. I will post more later about the heaters as I test them on the curing period in the tank.
Live rock is in along with the sand and water. I am still crafting the hanging system for the lights. If you want pics or have questions feel free to contact me at pjarus@centurylink.net
Thanks again to all the folks who have been so helpful
