Shooting for mid July. I don't have much in the way of coral to go in it right now. I didn't have very good luck keeping a lot of my large colonies in the frag tank.

Got about 80 gallons in so far and put the jabeo wp in! 4" wave easily.

Me too! I'm learning how much more work these bigger tanks can be. The further I get into it the more a basement sump sounds good! Been lugging a lot of h20 around.

A basement sump is the answer to all of the world issues we have today. You should check out how Mike did ours sometime. It's fantastic.

Hey it looks a little low on the right side

Hey it looks a little low on the right side

actually i'd say the front left corner looks low too so the tank is twisting. that means the stand is a train wreck. i'd tear the whole thing down before your house melts.

I'm an artist man! It's a surrealist stand.

LOL yes it truly is a bad@ss stand. Funny thing is, if I ever tried to build a stand, it really would be surrealist (not on purpose) and my really house would melt.

Full yet?

 

[jahmic]

You should go all out with the surrealist thing...

hang it from the ceiling and do one of those zero-gravity upside down reefs that I see pics of online sometimes.

Btw is your tank full yet.

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

the tank is full, jebao wp40 rockin things (my 7 year old says it's wavy like the ocean), threw a couple small rocks in yesterday and ghost feeding. I think I'm picking up the 75 gallon sump this weekend. only teaching 1 class a day after this week. Looking forward to having some time to do the plumbing. Still need to order another chinese led and 48" t5's as well as some odds and ends for the tank (plumbing, a few lbs of rock) It's been running for a week, I'd like to have it run for about a month or so before the move. Mid July is the goal.
