A few other firefighters at the station have cameras that are a little better than my iPhone and offered to snap a few pics. These are mainly the fish enjoying there new home. The aquarium is just over 2 months old

@JJ440 you have honestly completed a beautiful build. Im actually a bit jealous, especially with all of the diy items such as the stand and canopy, the beautiful lifting light rack, the gorgeous window below to see the sump, and the clean controller management. You guys honestly out did yourselves, and it was awesome to see your station mates get involved andhelp out with the build. Congratulations and I look forward to seeing the continued progress.

Thank you so much for the kind words!! Hopefully a little bit of jealousy is more like inspiration. I like to share with the idea that if I can do it anyone can. That's what I love about Reef2Reef. Seeing all of the creative minds putting there imaginations and dreams in motion and then sharing them. Then helping others along the way to hopefully reach the results they are looking for.

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. I’m hoping to attend my first WAMAS meeting soon. They keep landing on days I have to work.

Truly inspirational, I am in awe on how this came together. It is a work of art and I thank you for sharing. Thanks to all First Responders.

Thank you! Just hoping I don't get caught by the tang police but everyone loves how they look together. There was a little aggression when adding them and a little flashing from time to time. They actually seem to school together in the tank. I wanted to post a video of them together but I can't seem to get it to work.

I finally got some tangs after 2 yrs reefing. They have definitely done better now that I have an UV sterilizer. I worked with my LFS Incase I need to rehome for size or aggression

I started a little backwards with a purple tang first then adding a powder blue, yellow and tomini tang to a 75 gallon. I know this is not the norm and will probably get reprimanded for it, but I used the mirror trick and it worked like a charm. They were all fairly small. They grew up together with minimal aggression in the 75 for a year and a half before the 220 was ready.

Awesome Build !! Very clean! Great to see so many people chipping in! Love the sign “Do no pet - therapy fish”. Did it make it over from the 75 to the new tank?

Thank you! The sign hasn't made it over yet. All of our visitors love that sign.
