Shout out for Fish Tanks Direct for helping me with the order!

Waiting and watching, Good luck!

Thank you!

I will post the equipment list soon. Some things will be transferred from my 50 gallon system that's currently running. Eshopps is sending me the ATO reservoir as a gift. Guess I'm the first person to purchase the 100 gallon system.

Just got a phone call today that I will be receiving a complimentary eshopps 120 S Series skimmer!!!

Thank You Eshopps and Fish Tanks Direct !!!

I'm taking pics as I go but so far assembly is going good ! Directions are on point and quality is there !!!

 

[castaway123]

All done ! Plumbing complete leak test underway. Overall I'm very happy and impressed with everything. I'll be filling this thing into the weekend and hopefully start circulating water. Goal for Wednesday is to put aqua scape in then live sand. My friend is coming down from CT to help me setup !

Also have to run out and grab two heaters. Any recommendations?

 

[JC Reef]

For heaters, I personally would look into the new Sicce Scuba or the Helio from IM.

 

[castaway123]

Appreciate it, I'll look into that.

I had two heaters from the old tank so I threw those in for now. Setup the skimmer and return pump. Made saltwater over the weekend and installed the power heads temporarily until the rock work is done.

curious whats the total height of the tank setup 55 inches above ground? Also could you post a clearer photo of the armored silicon edges on vertical seams of the tank?
thanks

The return tube is extremely noisy
