Hey guys, my name is Dustin. I’ve been lurking and using the forum to research and help build my tanks for a while now. I figured it’s time to say hey I started with a 55 gallon and the week after I got a 65 tall that I switched to and been using for about a year now with a nicely stocked mixed reef of mostly lps and zoas with a few sps mixed in. Well I’m starting to outgrow my 65 gallon and I’m in the process of setting up a CAD 125 gallon. I haven’t made a build thread yet but I plan on starting one for the 125 to track the progress and mishaps of the build and then also the transfer over of all the livestock. I’m currently in the processs of running the plumbing and changing the Durso over to an herbie style while I wait for my order of base rock and sand from @LiverockRocks up the road from me. I have a little bit of time left before I pick up my goods so I need to get the ball rolling. Thanks for all the help already guys, I’ve found invaluable information here that I wouldn’t have found anywhere else and saved myself a lot of headaches! Here’s a few pics of the mess I’m in right now. A pic of the tank from when I bought it, a couple of how it sits now while I run and test plumbing. I moved my 65 gallon twice. Once initially to make room for the 125. Then once again when I realized I didn’t like where it sat. So it’s in different places in a couple pictures. And a couple of some frags just waiting for a home
