Nice, moving is always a pain, but having a tank is worth it. Ive never lost anything in a move, hoping that doesnt change!

Haha, well

This build is very well done!

Tank looks pretty well stocked, are you planning on continuing to stock with SPS?

Awesome job! 33L is an overlooked footprint IMO. I know it's narrow but its nice and long. Great job! I'll look for you on IG. I'm boatinglifeNJ.
Cheers!

thanks! the 33L was everything i needed it to be, small enough to be transported and large enough to stuff with coral.

it's perfect! I used to move a 20 gallon high when I was in college. Every semester lol. Never lost anything. Groupers, Triggers, puffers etc lol.

its awesome having a tank at school, plenty of people to show it off to.

absolutely, and also helps relax during finals lol. My roommate had a 180g with stingrays and 2 sharks. And 2 alligators lol (separately of course).
For my Senior Marine Biology thesis on Tetrodotoxin, I brought the whole class (small) over to our town house to see my Hawaiin Sharp nose puffer in action haha

That looks sweet man! I have a 75gallon with 36 sump.. we are moving to a new house and due to space i was thinking of setting up a AIO. I might go DIY with it and do a 33long.

Id highly recommend the 33 long AIO. The 33 long has a lot of footprint, but doesn't take up a lot of space. Since its a low tank, make a tall stand so it is near eye level. I took out most of my sps and moved it to my 90G since I finished college and returned home. It now has mostly LPS and a snowflake eel... should probably post an update soon.

nice build, I was gonna do the same on a 40br a few years a ago . I forgot about the 33L it is a nice nice nano tank.
to long for what i can do in my nano space tho. but I like longer tanks in general over cubes.if done right they look so much better!

Thanks and I couldn't agree more. I definitely like viewing space.

Thought Id post an update. I have since transferred my SPS to my 90 main display, the 33 now houses my 'overflow' corals from the 90. I am just adding a cony anemone. I am hoping that my black ocellaris will host it. I know clowns dont always host condys, however, the clown was hosting my trach (until I evicted her because she was damaging the flesh) and she has now moved to the elegance (which I am afraid will eat her at night). Hoping she takes to the $10 condy.

I'm back in and (once again) and finally going ahead on my build. This time i'm doing more than talking about it. I am currently engaged in actual plans and a process. I tried to get back in a couple times over the last 7 yrs (including while you were doing this build), but my health was crappy and life kept kicking me while I was down. Anyway, I have been ordering a few more things from BRS and designing my stand. Going with a basement fish room and sump! I'm definitely getting pretty excited to get her going. I'm also single now and have nobody to "poo-poo" my reef hobby passion. More money and space in the house too! LOL. Anyway, I'd love to see current pics of the 33 long. Take care.
