Build threads, Build Thread Badges, Build Thread Updates, Build, Build, Build! They can also be called Journals! :p Build threads are very important to R2R and to people who are looking for help on R2R. Build threads provide motivation, inspiration, learning tools and more for others. Soooooo It's important you have a build thread and it's important that you maintain it! So let me ask you a few things today!

1. Do you have a build thread and if you do will you please post a link to it in this thread?

2. Did you know that you can get a spiffy build thread badge under your profile name once you create a build thread of your own?
Here is how you do that!

3. Did you know we have a whole set up forums set up for Member's Aquarium Discussions? You do now! Click here to access them and to start your on!

I have a few build threads. My 75 gallon build thread is definitely the most complete though! I hope the 180 gallon I'm currently working on comes out as nicely!

I just finished setting up my 125 a couple of weeks ago though so I'm starting to add livestock now!

Start on page 13 if you want pictures.

I love seeing everyone's build threads - such a good way to get inspired and learn what I like and what works!

Here's my humble 20g AIO build thread. It's coming along. I've got some fish and coral that I love, looking forward to adding more coral and growing this out over time.

Yes sir. I have one active and have one that will be closed out soon, as those tanks have been taken down. There is a lot of banter and friendly spam from friends, but build info is somewhere in them lol.

Active One

Thread soon to be ended and outline the process of tearing down 2 tanks and moving all the stuff to other tanks.

I have two :) my most complete is probably my 4’ tank and my most complex is my nano haha.
On my 4’ I believe the most recent FTS is on page 12 however it’s not great (Will have a new FTS at some point this week).

As for my nano, it’s just chaos haha. my most recent FTS of this tank is on page 20 for anyone interested!
