@AiKkz I forgot to ask which salt are you using? Maybe you told us and I missed it.

I use plain old instant ocean and dose my water storage to my desired levels

Well just spent an hour reading this whole thread. Up until a few days ago, I didn't even know this website existed. Been out of the hobby for too long! Used to have a 180g 15 years ago. New wife, more kids, and new house have me in the planning stages of a 225g basement in wall. Looking through build threads to get some ideas. Amazing Build!

@Deezill Was that aquarium adventure in Bolingbrook? I was just there last weekend to look at the 210, it wasn't on sale at the time, while I was gone in the bathroom, my wife went and fell in love with a puppy...long story short, we have a puppy and not a fish tank....yet

The Hoffman Estates store. I think the sale ended in August. I got a wonderful deal loving that 210.
Too bad you don't live closer I have a 180 for sale which is what I was going to use until I got the 210.
I have the 180 up for sale for a little bit less than 600.

That's What I currently use and will be using. The purple box is what I love. No reason to stray.

Well after hearing some things I’ve decided to spend more and get an acrylic tank.

@AiKkz it’s a mini goldendoodle. Wife always wanted a big one and I told her no big dogs. She found a loophole that we didn’t know existed.

Nope I’ve tried Red Sea and the alk swings were crazy!! I always end up back at IO, never switching again.

Good choice, I wish I went acrylic!! You should do bare bottom to minimize scratches and have crazy strong flow

I like the look of sand!

I like the look of sand!

I do too, I just hate cleaning it and it blowing around

Some polyp extension on day 2 in the tank, and tried to get all 5 tangs in one pic!

Why did you swap the shark out for the (barracuda?). Wish I could have mounted some of my catches over the years!

I didn’t move them, must be the angle! Those are my father in laws he didn’t want them so I took! I do a lot of hog hunting too and I got a couple big boys mounted!!
