My 210 or why I don't do build threads

[mrcoffee]

Ok it starts like this pretty much all tanks start with good water....

here is mine AKA what not to do. it is not as bad as it looks which is good becuase it looks like a train wreck.


This pretty much says it all. Yes that is water comming from an emergency pressure release valve on a hot water heater. (ok so the hot water heater is not on) but still I have an old RO system that I hacked appart to form 2 prefilters. I have not figured out the drain yet for the waste water so that is a trash can right now.

This picture pretty much explains why I have not started a build thread.

I would also like to thank both Bill and Chris who have already really helped me a ton.

I will create the build thread just because I need to and promised Chris I would.

I will put up some more pictures here as I get more time. I have 2 tanks right now, both temporary that I will move into my new 210.

Clearly I need a lot of luck, So here we go.

Here is the sump room that I have to work with. I am going to rearange this so that the rubbermaid is aginst the far wall.

I was thinking of keeping the smaller sump as a crypto zone covered and black with a dark deep sand bed in it.

I still need to put the wood up on the walls so that the things I bolt onto the area will work fine and I will not have as many water issues. This is mostly green board but I still have a lot of work to do in here.

Here is the new home for all of my coral and fish

I just moved into this house and this is downstairs where nothing is unpacked yet.

here are the old tanks
first the 90 (I hate the color of these lights)


and here is my 75 which I have moved 3 times now and has been running for 5+ years in this same basic form.



so both of those will go into the new 210. I guess it is official this is now my new build thread.
