The hardest part

[davewbush]

Waiting that is. I started my build in January and this is what I am looking at now. I got the tank on Tuesday and now I'm waiting for a few plumbing parts before I can do anything else. They will be here next Tuesday.

The tank is a 180 gal, 3 sided starfire glass, euro braced, two 1 inch returnes, and two 1 1/2 inch drains. Built by Cadlights for me.

That looks sweet. I didn't know cadlights made custom tanks.

I don't think they ship tanks. I sent them an e-mail and asked if they could make me one. They asked if I lived in California or New york. I let them know I was close to there shop in California and I placed an order. They were going to make it in Ontario but ended up making it in New York and shipping it to there Ontario facility. I picked it up there. I'm very happy with it.

It looks very slick. I like the trimless eurobrace look. What are you waiting for, get some water in that thing!

I need to do a little more plumbing and run a dedicated braker to the tank. It will have water in it by next weekend. My ro/d does 50 gpd. It will take a few day to fill up. I have a 75 gal tank for a sump with baffles I put in and another 20 gal refugium. The sump will hold about 50 gal of water. Total system should be around 250 gal.

It's good to see you taking your time and doing things right. It will pay off in the long run.
