Hello all!
I've had my 180 gallon aquarium up & running for ~ 4 years now & I've been trimming SPS out of it for a long time & I'm running out of room. I recently setup a used 120g & connected it to the 180g that is now growing a bunch of Battle corals.
Since posting on Instagram - I've received a lot of requests for corals for sale. But I need more room! So, I recently stumbled upon a 60" x 40" x 18" PVC tank that would be a great frag tank!

I would be more then happy to rehome some of your trimmings! I’m not too far away from you in boring, Or.

What stores do you frequent in the area?

The paint on the stand is dry, so time to find a good position for it.
I reached out to some manufacturers who work with PVC & acrylic and no one got back to me. So I experimented with Weld-on 16 to try to patch up the holes / bulkheads. Seems to be holding so far, thankfully! I'm glad it worked...

That seems like a good, working & viewing height. Granted I'm also 6'7...

Guess I should clean up my garage space....
My buddy gave me a couple of these bad boys - one of the PSU's was burnt out though.
I have a 8-bulb Sunlight Supply Tek unit I was thinking of using, or going with a couple of Orphek panels; possibly a couple of AI's.

I’d also like to thank the local chain pet store for 1/2 off my soon to be sump. Can’t beat it! 75 gallon tank should be enough working space. I did the polarized test to verify which panes are tempered, and it looks like only the bottom is. then I did it to an old 40g breeder and according to the test the bottom pane is Not tempered? But says it is....
