819 “great white” build

[Chris oliveria]

Hey guys, kinda still new to r2r but wanted to start a build thread! I was one of the lucky winners from waterbox’s blue Friday giveaway and won a $5k gift card to waterbox aquariums! I elected for the 175.6 frag tank in white. It has arrived! I plan on posting updates and the process as it goes. Follow along!

Made a pvc replica of the display size. Need more rock but it begins!

Got the lights on. 3 xr30 g6’s (pros), and the longest ai blade they offer (glow).

Got the rock structures built and am pretty happy with the scape.
