I'm amazed by this build. I like how you showed the entire process. Not just buying and placing in the room. Good luck with the transfer!

Amazing build. I try to stay in the nano forum so I don't get jealous of builds like this. I'm glad I strayed.

Sorry for no pics and updates.... Been busy with work and new and old system as well as the club. I will get some more pics up this week.. As for now we broke down the 500 system. I lost a 6 line wrasse in the move, he was swimming around and then as we started on the tank getting rock out, went missing.. the Live rock went into a Vat all 1200lbs... for sale. So the only thing left was the 3 inches of sand that was pretty much dry....so as we where scooping out the sand after approx a WEEK and HALF, The Wrasse was ALIVE!!! can you believe it??? so he went into the sump because it was a panic dash into some water, so after he chills i will get him out and put him into the big daddy!! lol. I am still shocked.. Tang boy Yelled HES ALIVE!! as he ran into the fish room.... WOW. thanks to Tangboy for the help

WOW!!!! What a project!!! I am thoroughly impressed!!!

ok, the room is a disaster.....lol I put a new small refrigerator in there to keep small foods and cold supplements. Now, I will be getting it cleaned up and re organized as well as putting some new Vortechs in and mounted.. I also have to organize the frag tank its a mess from the breakdown/move. This weekend I will be finishing up the rest of the 500 system break down and getting ready for the move to its new home. I also put up for sale my Live rock all 1200lbs of it... i am stocked full right now and dont need it. So the local fish stores sell it for 12-14$ per LB....sheeesh... so ill put it up for 6 per LB. i guess.. I have so much to get rid of and clean and do.....:frusty: lol. cross your fingers!

the room is now to the point where it is a joy to be in....I still have some work to do, but its getting there. the rack needs to be finished up. I will put a coat of paint on the rails to match the ceiling. as for the rack it self i am thinking of keeping ot aluminum. what do you all think? remember... all comments are welcome. anything you would change, do , don't do... and so on. criticism doesn't make me mad it makes me better!!!
