Thanks for the friendly feedback, I had never built a room before or done half the stuff involved. Took plenty of research lol. Cant wait to plumb it this weekend! I have the pvc piled up and waiting!

Great progress. It's looking nice:) You really hid the hinges on your build! I can't wait until the lighting is setup.

Ready for paint! Had to come up with a way to hide the hinges to keep my wife happy!

Thanks, figured I'd give it a shot hiding the hinges. Worked out great.

Well room is officially finished.

Plumbing mostly finished...sorry for the mess.

"Sorry for the mess" why are you sorry? You have displayed hard work and introduced me to new techniques! A man's genuine work space is what I see... which by the way, it looks very, very nice. And congratulations on finishing the room!!! :D Keep me updated, I can't wait until the tank begins to evolve into a biosphere!

I ended up getting a 155 bow front system for 250 bucks, had 300 pounds of huuuge shelf rock, and a couple return pumps I could use. Did tests and everything checked out great on the water so put the rock to use. Also had 4 fish which I'll get rid of but was impossible to beat the price!
Transferred for now.

Also cycling some dry rock in the future refugium before I plumb it in.

Added the sand! Pic taken approximately 30 minutes after adding the sand.

That vortech looks so small in there!

The tank makes it look tiny lol. The fish are adults if that gives a perspective lol.

The water is all cleared up now!
Gotta get rid of these fish soon as well.

Worked on the skimmer plumbing...had micro bubble issue due to skimmer return placement.

 

[GXPKY]

And did a bit of rock scape work...not 100 percent where I want it yet but I have some nice rock cycling in another tub right now.
