when's the projected "get wet" date?

I heard rumor you are assisting?

he’s helping with design. But I’ve got some financial things I’m dealing with. Car stuff, puppy coming in, yeah. So I don’t have a solid date yet. In a perfect world? End of august. It’d be fitting for the three year anniversary of my build. But yeah

Im just as impatient for it as you and all the rest of the family @sp1187
I bought mine piece by piece.
you've read my build.
I didn't have thread back when I started it because you had to be a sponsor to get your thread posted.
which I have no issue being a sponsor. I just didn't agree with that.
so you see how mine was a catch up thread after the fact.
I think I took 18/24 months putting mine together before adding water.

I'll have stuff for ya once it's wet.
fishy and I are doing a half way between exchange.
gangsters.... transporting corals across state lines. :cool:

yeah I’m talking to him about that now. Thinking he’ll swing by to help my level the tank and draw up plumbing on his way back if not before.

and if you do throw coral my way, just know anything I might have down the line in frags or extra colonies is yours free of charge. We’ll figure out getting it to you when the time comes.

New development. I’ve been talking with Fishy and have realize I’ve vastly overestimated the price of plumbing. If his estimate is right I’ll have the tank wet sooner than I thought I could.

mind you, corals will be later. But right now I just want it wet and to have my fish in there

As long as your not plumbing with wood! Got my gate valve from Amazon cheap. And 12’ of pipe cost like $3 I think the most expensive thing is unions at like $5 90s are cheap. And maybe the glue is on the pricy side

here’s a rough sketch of my thoughts for plumbing. I’m at work so I’ll answer questions more this evening. But here’s what I’m thinking nonetheless
