Slowly but surely getting there tanks are placed in set location. Now time to scrub the tanks down to get them clean.

Walk us through what the tanks will be briefly.
The one tank on the far left (50gallon) will be mostly lps and softy corals. Tank in the middle (50gallon) will be all sps mostly acros. Tank on the right I am replacing next week with a 75 gallon which will be my main sump those two tanks will be plumbed into sump plus a 180 upstairs will be tied into the same system. Setting up the 40 breeder I have as a qt tank. So my main system should be roughly 325 gallons total.

Well I got all of my plumbing done for my new 150 aside from the gate valves that I'm waiting on from brs. Hopefully it all works well...I'll snap some pics later but it should be ready to water test after the weekend! @WIReefer I'm gonna need your help pretty soon :)

Awesome idea buddy! As you all may know by now and are probably sick and tired of hearing it I recently moved. Been starting the tank upgrade last week. I had a plumber come Monday she instal a 1/4” hookup off the main like for my ro/di unit. Does this count? Lol

I was making pretty good progress on my set up till we bought our house about 3 years ago now. My tank is sitting in our gutted basement in pieces and I’m backed up with house projects. The big one for this year is trying to finish the pool deck and maybe if I’m lucky get the outdoor kitchen/bar made for my smoker.

Anyone else have anything interesting, new or fun going on? Hopefully I will be getting our new system going in the next week or 2. I will also have some more updates later today :)

Wife want the coat closet removed went good till I got to the top part. The frame is on top of the frame to the other wall. Right now there is part of a 2x4 stuck between the wall frame and plywood to the ceiling that I have no idea how I’m going to get out.

Ya let’s see some pics of the dilemma. Our think tank should have answers lol.

as far as new stuff. I’ve started down the rabbit hole of quarantining fish. So we’ll see how that goes.

I’m not sure if this video will load on here. But this is one of two quarantine tanks I’ve got setup. It’s got a yellow tang about 6 days in. I feel like I’m starting fresh in the hobby with the amount of info to know on medications/diseases etc.
