Don't kill anyone yet let's get some fish and water in it first.. maybe not in that order lol

haha! I agree water is probably a good area of focus !!!

Alright maybe you spoke to this but how on earth do you plan on doing maintenance or aquascaping it? I feel like the openings arnt big enough for large pieces of rock. Also even with tongs this thing is going to be a real PITA to do anything at the bottom of the tank at all.

I feel like a tank this size requires and open top and a way for you to literately get in it to do things

Never thought I'd say this, but that is one sexy glass brace wowzaaa [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

Is the rock curing for this yet? What's the scape gonna look like?

You have a valid point. Pedro fits in although it is quite an adventure getting in and out. Prior to adding water we will put the rock and sand in. Coral placement will. E a pain near the bottom but if there is one thing we learn to do in this hobby it is to figure things out lol.

I bought all dry rock. I'm going to let it go through all its processes in the cycling period. I will be constantly changing water throughout so hopefully the phosphates will figure themselves out in time.

Just curious what made you decide to put your pump out side the sump? I'm going to be adding the same pump to my system soon and trying to figure out to drill my sump or just put it in there. Thanks

There are a few threads on here and RC mentioning heat issues. I also wanted to conserve space inside the sump for reactors and my skimmer.

It's a big UV!! Pedro approved

He's seeing that I may have overdone the equipment list.

Oh sh** More stuff. Where's it all gonna fit?

 

[locito277]

Moment of doubt?

Never a doubt

He's on it!

 

[locito277]

Plan is coming together

Success and room to

 

[locito277]

Man with the plan!! I think I need more reactors!!

 

[locito277]

Even the UV fits

She got exhausted watching Pedro working
