[LEDSIXTYFIVE]

Great build looks like a nice clean setup, can't wait to see it wet

Thank you, me either!

Nice setup.

Looks amazing I'll be tagging along on this build

Wow you had a great idea with the left over flooring. Beautiful set up! "Subscribe"

 

[LEDSIXTYFIVE]

Thanks, reefers! I hope tomorrow will reveal how much and when the floor will get a serious crutch. I need my money pit up and running!

Nice build. I know where to get my inspiration for my next upgrade for sure.

Tomorrow they are going in deep with multiple trades to finish the reinforcement! So stoked!

You should see if theres any way while that ceiling is open if you can run a couple pac lines up to your tank to make water changes way easier, my friend has a drain to his garage and a small line running back to the tank with a pump that he uses to send fresh water back up.. good luck everything looks great so far.

sorry that was supposed to be PVC lines, dam auto correct

Pretty neat build! Like the woodwork on the doors and the hinge you used on the canopy. I will be curious to see if those two Hydra 26s will be sufficient lighting for that size tank.

One thing that caught my eye and I have to ask - are you not concerned with those two electrical outlets right behind the sump and below the top of the sump? I hope they are at least GFCI outlets and if they are, I hope they don't continually trip on you because of the moisture inside of the stand or splashing of water when working in the sump. That would be a little close for comfort for me.

Following along though. Nice, clean build.

Good eye. They are GFCI and they have their own breaker as well. When I had the house built they knew I would have a fish tank there. I had a 65G tank in this same spot before and didn't suffer from any electrical issues... But that doesn't mean I won't this time! With the time I have on my hands I may build a splash guard for the outlets, thanks for the criticism!

Haha I hate that! I thought about the idea of having a fish space in the garage. When I asked my builder what it would cost to tear up the floor to run some pipes he said with my polished tile floor he would avoid pulling it at all costs. I just took his word for it. I have the r/o di on the same floor so I'm hoping for ease.

I am also curious if the 26's will be sufficient. With out water they light that tank up like a beacon! But that tells me nothing lol.

I got the Okay from the contractors, it's ready! I found some amazing rock for $1 a pound and bought some live sand from the LFS. Aquascape to come!

 

[Omegareefer0]

Whered you score your rock for 1/lb?

 

[Small triggers]

Very nice so far. Can't wait to see your scape!

It's a little classifieds place like Craig's list except only for Utah called ksl.com. I have been keeping my eyes open for a good deal, patience was key!
