The Time has come - listen2bob's 80 gallon build

[listen2bob]

Welp, bought a new house at the beginning of March and have finished the renovations. Now it's time to build my new tank.
bought a used 80 gallon shallow rimless setup a bit ago and will be building it into a breakfast nook/bar

Unfortunately that also means it's time to figure out how to get colonies to break nicely out of my 65


But on with progress
Not a fan of this wall in the kitchen


Move the electric


Remove wall


Buy lots of granite ( habitat for humanity restore is amazing)

Thanks everyone, if all goes according to plan this should be done by Saturday, then moving day/smash corals day

When you remove the coral if some of that mili breaks up maybe you can sell a frag or two I like the color of that colony you have ....and what lighting did you run over the old

 

[snake1]

Nevermind about the lighting I just saw your signature

Habitat for humanity restore 10 a ft

 

[sirrealism]

there will be a line waiting for frags and i will be in it

A plus signature granite did ours and sell remnants for less.

 

[listen2bob]

We needed 5*4, they had a good color match to the kitchen and much cheaper than some other places, plus it helps a good organization
