Note to self, lifereef.com for a custom sump! Pretty cool design and style across the board so far for the build @bmr

The sump, refugium and ATO are almost ready to ship.

That's a really nice set up!!

I am playing around with ideas for the aqua scape. I think I am going to use all shelf rock on top of live rock with a 3” sand bed. End result will have more height than below. Ordering the live rock and will start cooking it this week.


The 5 min example aqua scape below.

The sump made it. Jeff from LifeReef is a packing machine ! The UPS truck could have been hit by a bomb and destroyed but I am sure my sump, refugium and ATO would have survived.

Got an update on the stand. Looks like Chris is making good progress.

Talked with both Chris an Felix this week. Sounds like the tank and the stand will ship in the next couple weeks. Picture show the canopy being stained to match existing furniture in the office.

Chris completed the stand.

My stand has been delivered and is in place. Chris did a great job, it’s not just a fish stand it is fine furniture.
