That clear pipe is kinda cool, I don't think I've ever seen that before!

I found it on Amazon. I wanted to be able to see if I had snails or any other possible issues in my plumbing. My plumbing isn't the prettiest but it's functional. It was really hard getting around some small obstacles I had and so it ended up a little more sloppy than I had hoped.

I'm not sure to be honest. I bought it used and don't have much info about it.

I'd bet that it is... glass lined overflow and thick rounded/eased frame were part of what made them popular. Surprising how many are still in use these days. They were well built!

It will be interesting to see if the 'fuge light causes any algae build up in those clear pipes, the look dope tho!

Glad to see the tank is wet!

Everything is running great. Cycle has started, and everything is functioning just as I hoped it would! View attachment 18152

Looking great! Although, I'm not quite sure you have enough 5 gal buckets? :tearsofjoy:

Hahaha, some of those have salt. Once I get my facade on there you won't be able to see those anymore.

So really easy to get the salinity right?

Yeah I had no problems at all getting the salinity where it needed to be. It's holding right at 1.026 and hasn't changed.

Everything is still running great. Cycle is definitely still going. I went the raw shrimp route to feed the bacteria. Takes longer, but that's okay. I still need to get my wires organized. But it's not terrible. View attachment 18232 View attachment 18233 View attachment 18234 View attachment 18235

Wire management is great! The labels are a great idea. I like the way you spread everything out.

It's moving day! Starting moving corals over to the new tank today. Everything is going well so far. The fish will be next but I have to get all their hiding spots out of the stock tank in order to catch them. I'll be posting another thread in the for sale area, I have several large peices of live rock with zoas and mushrooms that I will be selling. I don't want to try to get the zoas off the rocks.

View attachment 18413 Setting up a 40 Breeder under the display to use as a quarantine tank. Nothing fancy but some pvc, heater, and a sponge filter.

Tank is running great! All fish have been happy and what corals I kept are all doing great. I'm saving up so that I can fill this tank up with lots of nice corals and some fish I have always wanted. I picked up my first tang today, thanks @Haddonisreef for this awesome scopas tang. He's already cruising the tank and looking great!
