Build threads with documented success! Who you got?

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Hey let's put together a list of build threads here on R2R that have been kept updated, shown progress, and has documented success!

Looking for reef tanks that you would love to own but also have a build thread to back up the progress!

Which ones come to mind?

That's a nice looking setup.

Is it lacking in humility to include one's own build thread? LOL I recently (Sept 2025) transferred my almost 10 yr old 56g into my new 75g. I documented regularly so I kind of feel it qualifies.
