Emeritus Revenio v.5.0.150INT

[Smite]

Awesome build so far and great rock work.

I’ve been hunting out all the 150 INT threads. I plan to upgrade in a few years most likely to one of these.

Sps and bare bottom, these are right up my alley!
Glad to hear the build quality is good! Tagging along

Got a few more things done this afternoon, manage to get the powerheads placement where I want them and some cable management for underneath the euro bracing. Still working on the plumbing, I must admit, I’m a bit anal when it comes to getting that right so I won’t post pictures until it’s absolutely 100% to my liking. Now I’m just sitting back and enjoying an empty tank bewhahahaha!

I see an ammo shortage on the left of your picture!

LMBO! You would pick that out!
...that’s just what won’t fit in the locker.

Deburring the inside of PVC piping really does take a lot of time, it’s one of those things you’ll never see but hopefully adds a little bit of a benefit in flow, be it nominal or not.

Awesome build! Real thought out equipment wise and the scape is awesome. If your coral growing skills are anything like your planning I think this tank will be top notch!

 

[Tacticool-Reefer]

...and of course a little more bling never hurts!

Thanks bud!
...only time will tell as far as Coral grow out goes, but I’ve had my share of successes and many many many failures along the way!

It’s all about learning from your mistakes and always trying to get better, at least that’s what I like about this hobby.

 

[Tacticool-Reefer]

@KJ, how’s the ammo rack now?

 

[Tacticool-Reefer]

I chose to go all 45° couplings and not use a single 90° which is making this plumbing a bit of a challenge... Current state of affairs' below.

...this is all "dry" fit at the moment.

 

[Tacticool-Reefer]

...what do you do when you don’t want to drill into perfectly good aluminum? You modify a couple of their locking brackets with a piece of square stock and weld them across/together!

...I'll be cleaning up the welds and sandblasting the surface to prepare for Cerakote.

A few nighttime photography shots, man this looks great if I do say so myself!

 

[Tacticool-Reefer]

... A little bit of a mile stone for this tank, plumbing is done time to fil!

 

[Tacticool-Reefer]

Drip, drip, drip!
...should be done by Christmas!

This looks incredible. I had to downsize my tank from a 125 peninsula to a IM 25 Lagoon this year. 2 kids under two didn’t leave much time to keep up my reef tank the way I like to and have family time on the weekends. I am glad I did because I love the IM tank. This is in my plans to upgrade when my oldest shows more interest. Then it will be for “us” and not just me. I love the footprint of this tank.

I’m following along for the journey. You’re doing everything the right way.

 

[Tacticool-Reefer]

Just a 1/2 full, two power-head, quick test...
...also, correction to what I said: I have two MP40 incoming and not MP60.

 

[Tacticool-Reefer]

@Trizzino, thank you very much! I really appreciate you taking the time to follow this thread and appreciate your comments!

I’m down to one child out of three, so we will soon be an empty nest. That said I need something to fill all my free time and why, in part, I got back into the Hobby.

I’m only getting about 75 gallons of RO/DI water a day currently, so this will probably not be filled until tomorrow morning sometime. Truth be told I have patience for a few things but waiting for water isn’t one of them.

However, now I can start playing around with the other features on the Neptune Apex controlle.

It does look stunning! Did you say what your plans are for fish stocking?
