Managed to get my equipment down here to Denver in one piece. I sadly lost all my coral and fish on the way down, as I should have known not to embark on that hairbrain idea. Probably lost a few thousand in livestock, which has been quite the bummer, but I did have aptasia and trace amounts of bryopsis, so hopefully I can keep this one pest free starting from the ground up. Tank was previously running for about a year when I had to take it down for the move.

Just finished redoing all on the plumbing. Constructed the electronic panel last weekend out of some scrap wood I brought with me. I plan to introduce a few pieces of new equipment down the road once everything is settled, but I am trying my best to get this bad boy cycling asap! I am currently making water, about 40 gallons to go!

And one from the old setup before I took her down!

Looks great. Know youre busy getting yourself up and running but do you think you could build me a stand the same exact dimemsions? Id pay for the materials obviously and your time. It doesnt need fancy trim. Just needs to be stable. Good luck on your project

I would be happy too, except I used a family members tools for it. I would need a tablesaw, chop saw, pinner, routing table, and a palm sander. Maybe some others. I am no woodworking expert and I will say the price adds up. I built this one with maple trim, and after the glass doors it cost me around $600. Have you considered a steel frame with wood finish?

Was able to get most of the system up and running over the last couple weeks! Just finished cycling last week and put in a black clown and longnose hawkfish.

Let the stocking begin!

Here is a few pictures now that she is full of water.
