Thanks everyone for tagging along. Its going to be a fun project. Just the aquascaping alone is going to make it a play day. For skimming it will be using that Extra Large ATB skimmer that is on the existing system. My customer is leaning towards t-5s. Now if I can talk him to a few ati fixtures and it would be off the hook.

After seeing some AI LED mods in action yesterday, I would try and lead him in that direction!!

Well here is an update with some photos before and after for all to enjoy.

Before showing the upgrade I thought I would share a few pictures of the Sea Room. Yep a room in the garage dedicated just for the filteration. In a nut shell. two carson bins. a double stack refugium. UV, Calcium reactor, o zone. allot of stuff but some of it just in the wrong spot.




Can one say ATB ?


got to love test sheets now used will all of my customers. yes i was there and it tested this..lol. yes i had some of my customer question what i do while i am there recently. My response I just wipe the glass and carry water for a living.


One can never have enough water laying around =)



The 125 that I could not sell for a client came to good use. many of the corals were placed in it.




got to love the orange tip anemone.

A real external chiller. wow I think the reef empire guys even went nuts when they saw this. lol

ok now the good stuff



nothing like a crew that works for beer. saved my back.. kinda.


Its in place. so sexy!


Look at those fogged top and bottom edges and the museum edge corners. I Think everyone was doing this all day. touching it. Is it for real?


Bring on the sand.. or more like pixie dust. very fine sand but this is what the customer wanted. 420 pounds of it.


The aquascaping.. aka the back breaker. fun fun fun, but one can only work so long in tight quarters.



I guess I was the only one not drinking today. so worried about scratching the inside.


starting to take place





As one can see the water is slowly getting filled. I could not believe I spent hours inside that tank. 420 pounds of sand 650 pounds of mixed marshal, tonga slab and branch. zip tie a bunch together. putty over all of the zip ties to climb out and the guy doing the plumbing was not done yet. I was like ok, its only a closed loop, two returns and two drains whats the deal? Yes it was getting late lack of food and everyone getting tired as the tension started to rise.
Luckly soon after the good neighbor surprised us all with pizza and all kinda snacks. We were saved. we were putting some of the fish in 10 hours later. They were in the bins the whole time and were not too stressed.

More to come. I need to take some more pictures.
