140 shallow reef build

[JOKER]

Well making progress. Floor destroyed, hopefully tiling goes pretty well. Got the top of stand welded up also.

Crazy busy. Good luck and keep the pics coming.

Great progress Corey. Should be fun to watch evolve!

 

[JOKER]

It is going pretty well so far. Somewhat overwhelming at times with everything going on but making it work. Taking the weekend off to spend time with daughter but starting back tomorrow night or Monday.

That cat helping too? Sweet rock man. How many feet are you using on the stand?

 

[JOKER]

Yes she keeps fly's in check and any other bug for that matter. LOL. The stand will have about 60 foot of tubing. I went with 2" x 2" x 1/4" for the main structure and cross supports on top.

Ok so an update is in order. Good progress on floor and started on scape. Dismiss the rock under the shelf. That is just holding in place for now. Hopefully the cement works the first go around. LOL

 

[JOKER]

I am designing the scape for coral placement and open areas in mind with islands for different corals..

 

[bknapp]

I'm liking the scape so far, love the openness.

 

[JOKER]

Thanks. Im pretty set on these 2 so far. Just got to get the other rock acid washed so I can see what im going to do with them.

 

[JOKER]

Well cement is finished on first structure and floor is almost finished. Just have to get another tank so I can move fish and take down the 90..

 

[JOKER]

Ok so floor is almost done. Playing with rock to see what I can come up with.
