Installing this to my ceiling where the reefer and main frag tank is because I’ve had some coral stealers in my house before a couple years ago ;)

Thanks!!!

I’ve just been cleaning a lot and salvaging any old reef gear for this build.

This is my QT stand. It will be for 2 tanks and a sump. Roughly 100G in volume dedicated for QT!

Just painted this stand for my 180/210 gallon tank that will be plumbed into the system. When I want to do water change all I would have to do is drain the entire tank and pump in saltwater from my 200g reservoir! :D

Found a bunch of plumbing equipment in my garage! Apparently I have a mini Home Depot for plumbing in my garage lol!

Ready to plumb the 750 XXL tomorrow [emoji41]

So, what does a sponsorship mean? I understand what it does for a race car team or a bass fishing team but and aquarium? Do they give you free stuff just for mentioning that you use their equipment?

If that's the case, how do we all sign up? :D

The cynic in me thinks it means taking opinions with a grain of salt (pick your preferred brand) o_O. I’ve been asked a few times over the years to ‘advocate’ for certain brands and have always politely declined.

What do you mean? I don’t know if you remember me or not Simon but years ago you gave me a pair of clowns for my 150 gallon tank. They are still alive and living in my friends 300 gallon now!

Did not make the connection, apologies, but I do remember. No offense intended, I have just seen ‘sponsored’ threads that end up reading like marketing copy and just generally make me suspicious. Maybe I’ve just become too cynical in my old age. Just ignore me ....

Nope no marketing ploy here. I’m going to give my honest opinion on everything. I will not use any product that I don’t stand behind and use them myself.

Love the look of this tank. Watching the build from Boston. Mind share the model of the webcam?
