The backbone is basically done. (Finger cross[emoji28])
Only need some retouching to make the structures more stable and more natural.[emoji4]

I'm curious how you knew you were going to need to reinforce your floor. I'm planning on setting up a 93 gallon and hadn't even considered that the floor might not be able to take the weight

My friend help me with it, but it's easy. We measured the rails under it and how far the tank is from the wall.

Are you going to try the zeovit products on this tank also?

No Zeovit (too expensive), but definitely Redsea color, iodine, Fe,.....

Love the scape! I wish I took the time to do something like that before setting up my tank.

Yeah, totally inspiring. I'm gonna try something similar on a smaller scale for my new build.

The 45G thread is such a joy to follow. I'm sure this will be better. The rockacape is amazing - I honestly love it. I can't wait to see this tank turn into another masterpiece.

Looks great! Something about the G4 Pro's that colors and grows color like nothing I've ever seen before with an LED fixture. That's why I've got them too!

Excited to see the rest of this come together. How long after the cycle is over do you think you'll wait to transfer everything?

Take me quite some time to decide on other equipment.
Some new toys have arrived.[emoji39][emoji39][emoji39]

I want to make thing right from the beginning on this tank. My old 45 gallon uses up to 120mil ESV per day, so I decide to go with Calcium reactor on this build. Take advantage of Brs sale on this model.

Very well packaged and fancy looking.
There are many terrible reviews about the leaking issues but let's see. The material look quite robust & high quality.

Also spending time to manage the wires from beginning, I don't want it become a mess like my old 45 gallons.

Pretty happy with the result.[emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

I still need to label them.
Anyone come up with a good looking way to label the cords?






First and foremost your 45 Gallon is stunning!!! Pure inspiration.... wanted to share a small win I had with a long Apex cable to setup my AWC. Mine is 100' and runs outside my house. No issues so far. No need for another apex just run it remote.

Thank you for you insight. I went ahead and order a 100' cable along with amother eb8 and pm1. Test it today and everything run smoothly. [emoji4]

It's hard to say. I plan to stock the fishes first. After that, I gonna put a couple frags to test. Then if everything go well, I gonna stock up this tank soon. I have been collected quite some frags.[emoji39]
I only transfer a couple of my favorite pieces, the rest will be new collections.[emoji4]

The sump area is almost finished.

The sump design make horrible noise without filter sock, so I came up with an idea: a never wash filter sock method. [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

After install filter sock, the sump&drain is dead silent.
This also allow me to populate a healthy pods later.[emoji39]
