Love saltwater fishes...
It am very excited with the build of my 350G tank.
It all started as a dream. I love salt water and then I want a large list of fishes. I researched the tanks over and over and realized that I needed a big tank.
The project started with the list of fish that I wanted to have. I talked to some of the people here. I want a 180 G then they said that I could not have all the fishes in that size tank, so here we go to a large one to have our fish list.
Now I have a 72 gallons tank with starfire glass on the front and sides so I wanted one the same way. If you do not have starfire you cannot see the difference but once you have it, you got have it...hehe... it is interesting.
1- First I started my 55 quarantine tank while I was researching the display tank. Then I decided to go with a brand name and one that has a great reputation because I am afraid of leaks...
2- I ordered the tank in February and they told me it was going to take a long time due to the amount of business they had but I was ok with the waiting.
3- I got the Lights 3 RADION PRO and I am using the wide angle lenses on them as well. (I am using one of the lights on the 55 G for my new corals)
4- Got the Apex system and the Modules to make the lights wireless... don't like the wires... I have not used them yet... still working on the tank.
5- Tank was delivered and we got the plumbing going and I order a autotopoff acrylic container to fit the space in the bottom behind the sump. I love my sump and the refugium area. Now I got the rest of the white sand #0 and now we are getting the landscape on it.
6- The container for the saltwater for the auto water change is ready and we are staring our first saltwater mix with Red Sea Salt... great trace elements...
SO EXCITED...

Big tank, BIG picture 
. Looks really nice, happy building. I still think the build process is the most fun part. Once it's done and stable it's a bit like Chevy Chase looking at the Grand Canyon .... :lol: .... for me, at least!
