Dude... that stand is killer. I make tables and I always need good ideas for the base.
I've lived in s jersey and driven through md many times over the years, don't think I've ever seen high-rise buildings like that. That Baltimore?December 21st 2020
Once I got the tank stand where I wanted, I realized the stand top was off balanced. I know my floors were slightly uneven but I also than realized the 4x4 posts where the butcher slab was going to sit on wasn’t flat. So here I am in a high rise on the balcony in the middle of winter sanding away at the surface to get rid of the high points I found so I can have a perfect surface

This is such a cool build! Seems like it could really change the way we think about the hobby, or at least nano tanks, if all goes as planned. Also seems like the perfect tank to use an AWC system on. How do you plan on dealing with evaporation? What is your plan for coral?
Good call with the XP Aqua! If you still wanted to do SPS with sand you could probably get away with aragalive reef sand. Probably wouldn’t have much issue with sand blowing around. Either way thought it seems like it’s going to be an awesome build! Looking forward to following itTHANK YOU! I really appreciate it. If I had the space to store the water for the awc, that would be a definite solution to making my life easier haha. But unfortunately for me it’ll be just be doing weekly water changes.
As far as evaporation goes, I went with the xp sumpless auto top off so it’ll have the ability to surface skim for me but also acts as a auto top off. Most likely I will have a 3 or 5 gallon container that will fit in my new cabinet I built.
So for corals, I originally was writing that it will be sps focused but after slowly putting this build together, I realized I wanted sand and movement in the tank. It’s something I didn’t really have in the past since I’m a big fan of sps but movement is genuinely so pleasing from a viewing standpoint. I also don’t want sand building up or having random spots of no sand which means lower flow is needed. At this moment it looks like it’ll be a mixed tank, some sps (most likely just acros and stags), lps (torch corals maybe a Goni, a Duncan), some soft corals ( maybe if I find a weeping willow toadstool or just a regular one) and a rose bubble tip anemone since I’ve never owned one.
