Enjoying your build thread, I was looking for more of your colony pictures and stumbled on it. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing you at LEAR.

Wow, just finished reading the whole thing. I think you've taken the "hobbyist" out of "passionate hobbyist reefer" and replaced it with "expert professional". The level of care going into this is breathtaking.

Plus, though it's taking forever to get the main tank running, yours must be unique for a build thread in having such gorgeous eye candy scattered throughout - your SPS collection is astonishing.

I know I'll never have a tank like this, so very grateful you're sharing the whole journey - thank you!

100% agree with everything you stated, mwilk19! Snorkel Bob's commercial footprint is everywhere on the Hawaiian Islands ...12 locations total spread across Maui, Oahu, Big Island and Kauai. I bet all the sunscreen from his snorkel customers is not good for the reefs either. Hawaii's new reef safe sunscreen law goes into effect in 2021.
The fish ban is just for the Big Island if I recall.

Wow. This brings back memories. I grew up next to a Snorkel Bobs on Oahu. Totally forgot about that place. Amazing build thread. Hopefully it all comes together.

Thank you, Scott. It would not be Hawaii without Snorkel Bob .

I appreciate the kind words and compliments (emphasis added)!

Thank you, George! Tony will not believe me, but I am really getting close to making this project completely operational.

Tim everything looks fantastic! I bet you are getting anxious to get the tank going haha. It's getting close

My new grow light for my sump arrived today. Thank you! @premiumaquatics
A shipment of Chaetomorpha (Cheato) macro algae will arrive soon. Just need to finish up my return plumbing first.

 

[Abhishek]

Looking hot Tim !!! Could you tell me dimensions of your sump and who made it ?

 

[aquavista99]

My sump was built by George Weber (GEO). 72" X 30" and holds around 250 gallons of water. It was the last big project George completed before he sold his acrylic fabrication business (geosreef) and moved to Florida.

Looking hot Tim !!! Could you tell me dimensions of your sump and who made it ?

You're right, I don't believe you. HURRY UP!

 

[biecacka]
