Just got the new tank delivered.

Fish Mansion has arrived

Tank is 72x18x24 tall with center overflow. Starphire front and sides with black background.

Pine stand that is 36" inches tall.

Custom sump I designed. 44x14x16.

Excitement is an understatement at this point.

Quick update.

Got my lights in. Shoutout to Dave at nanobox for making this amazing light. Seriously this lights are out of control. I highly highly recommend nanobox.

Made myself a conduit light hanger for the lights.

Tank transfer is set for next Saturday. I'll update then.

What brand of tank is that?

It's is a Visio which is made by Advanced Aqua Tanks. Both the stand and tank came from them. I believe they call this tank the diamond edge.

I think I'm gonna dig this build.

Progress today.

Painted the light hangers.

Put the sump in the stand and started to wire things up. Mounted under cabinet light in cabinet. Also got the idea to run a cable rail we use in IT to run Ethernet cable. Come with a cover and will hide all electrical wires. Cost 20 bucks.

On track for the transfer next weekend.

It's been a busy weekend but the transfer is finally done, well almost.

Everything that could go wrong went wrong and I still need to iron some things out.

Here are some pics.

During the chaos on Saturday.

The aftermath.

Still need to aqua scape (I kinda threw everything in). Setup up my dosing pump, and clean up the wire craziness going on in my sump.

Let me know what you think so far.

 

[coralcrazy]

Spent the morning cleaning up my wires and setting up the dosing pump. I am pretty much done with the equipment end of things.

I am just letting the livestock de-stress and will work on the aquascaping next weekend.

 

[coralcrazy]

Work on my aquascaping yesterday. Also purchased my first new coral for the tank, yellow ruffled ridge coral.
