Plumbing is so close to being done I can almost taste it! 95% is all dry fitted! Just waiting for a new more adapters and plumbing parts.

Drilled the sump

I painted the bottom and back of the sump as well to make it look clean!

Mounted my 60” reefbrites 50/50 tech leds over the 400. I still have a second set to mount. These will be enough for a predator tank with leathers.

Just found this thread and will be following along. Seeing builds like yours make it harder to wait on my garage take over. I like the hydroponics table, thought about trying
to find one myself. Looking forward to watching the progress.

Thanks!!! I was going to do a garage build too but it was too much to remodel the garage and insulate it etc and too much time. I chose to revive my basement build instead and added 2 additional tanks!

With 1500 gallon water volume And a half ton of rock I don’t think I’m worried haha [emoji23]

Picked up an awesome 120 gallon all in one tank by Innovative Marine today for cheap to use as a quarantine tank!

My canvas is ready [emoji846] just waiting for Paul West at West Mariculture to ship me my bonsai Tonga rockscapes! I added a sheet of white abs plastics because I am going barebottom! Looks fricking great! I went with white for more light reflection as oppose to Ryan Brs’s build with the black abs [emoji5]

man looks great! I was thinking white abs as well but as I am not 100% SPS and love the look of sand bed I am gonna try the "clean sand bed" method.

man I wish I knew if the RPM would hold on the 3/4" glass that was original plan but Logan was not sure. keep me posted on how they work out. i been wanting some for a while now.

It does hold it but not entirely. I’m going to do a video review soon. If you notice the mag rocks are helping it stick to the glass.

Awesome build! I like the algae scrubber. Any reason you went with the filter socks over a roller mat/ several roller mats?
