Hey SkimHeavy, just finally posted the thread on my tank. It's under "SnapCrackleD's new 105 rimless". How's everything going on your tank? I just finally filled it up all the way tonight.

Not too much has changed. I'll post a couple pics this afternoon. The tank is drilled and the overflow in kinda installed but the bulkheads haven't been tightened down yet.

Oh, I guess I did cut the baffle for my sump.....

 

[SkimHeavy]

I wanted everything contained under the stand. NOTHING outside or next to it. (kinda kills the idea of a calcium reactor). I have the 40b as the sump, but needed an additional storage space for my top off water tank. A 10g didn't fit, but I was able to cram a 5.5g in there.

As you can see, there is just enough room to tuck my DC pump in and still run it externally. YAY!

I could have gone with a plastic tank and gone taller, but I am kinda weird about something's, and unmatching sumps is one of those things.

So here is the return hole drilled

And here is the overflow. So stealthy it's almost invisible.

Just for fun I thought I would do my aquascaping today. I'm a ways away from seawater but I wanted to see the rock in the tank.

My current sandbed is 2 large bath mats......

And with a Radion overhead:

Thank you! The rock on the far right is all one piece. Nothing stacked below or above it. 47 pounder!

[SkimHeavy]

Thanks for all the compliments everyone.

This thing is getting water soon. On March 15th I am ordering sand, salt, skimmer, lighting, a new RODI, refractometer, return pump and plumbing parts.

I will continue assembly as things arrive. Hopefully the following weekend!

Really? That's awesome! The Neo 105 club! Make sure to start a build thread too. I'll post pics as soon as things start coming in the mail for sure. I'm kinda at a stand still until then.

Yeah! More people with our tanks. :) When I got mine I tried googling to get an idea about it but didn't find much on the Neo tanks.
