Build Thread - Custom Lagoon Book End Tank Design with Waterfall

Hi R2R members. We recently moved to a new home. This new home has more wall space which I feel will dwarf my current Redsea Reefer 450. I have decided to upgrade the total system volume from 90 gallons of display to 190-200 gallons. I'm starting this thread to show the process, get feedback...

Eight months in and I'm pretty pleased, been through a few ... interesting ... challenges. Day and evening, the latter after my lightning armature snapped and dropped the light into my tank ... story in the build thread.

I don't know how many of us have a build thread, didn't count, but I know I have one.
Got my gyres replaced by mp40s today so I might give it a little update.
Not the best photographer:

Heres my build thread!

Large Build - Rhoads238's 280 gallon reef with fish room

I'm really enjoying the build thus far. You've got a good eye with thr camera and your storytelling is spot on. Thank you! So far all the photos have been with my phone but I'm going to break out the dslr again soon once i start getting more livestock Beautiful build. Plumbing looks so clean...

The tank is still a work in progress but it's getting closer and closer to complete every day. The tank is 280 gallons, 84x32x24" I'm going to be doing a mixed reef and will be running the triton method. The below photo is from my most recent update. I just finished plumbing the system and was doing a leak test. The tank is currently drained and I'm starting to aquascape it. Hopefully it will be up and running in a few weeks.

How many of you have a build thread going? Post your favorite photo of your reef here and give us a link to follow your tank!

Btw, here's an IMPORTANT NOTE about build threads/tank journals. They don't have to be started when you first get your tank (ask @Paul B who started his tank before there was an internet! He's got a great tank thread going that you should all follow!). You can start your "build thread" (I really think "tank journal" or "tank thread" is a better term...can we all start using that moniker?) anytime you want to!! Don't have a tank thread yet? Well, get one started in one of these forums:

It’s a Big DIY Build in progress!

Large Build - OldSchool 225 build with some new twists.

The maintenance on the 15 year old 150 (well delayed maintenance) has become monumental. l needed to replace the return pump the skimmer pump all bulkheads and re plumb the entire system. Not excited about what was ahead for me, I put it off for months (several {eyeroll} too many). The tank...

Been gone from the hobby for about 10 years. So much has changed since then. Decided to get back in and am documenting my Cube build here:

Cube Build - Mike89t's 45gal Cube Build

So back in the day I had a 190 reef system that I eventually sold off back in 2011. With two small kids at the time it just became too much to handle. Fast forward a decade and I baby sat my friends Biocube over the holiday weekend while they were on Vacation. Ooops I did it again. Caught...

My tiny slice of the ocean. It isn’t much but it’s only 5 months old.

Here's my 20 gallon long mixed reef. It's been up and running for about 15 months and switched over to AI Primes in the winter. I've definitely noticed an increase in growth. I had large Acro frag that is now a mini colony and growing like a weed.
