In wall 335g with equipment room build

[JPHawkins]

Hello all, thought I would introduce myself since I have been lurking on this site for about 1 1/2 years now. I am in the process of a new build of a 335 gal in wall with an equipment room. Project is almost complete, and ready to order my tank and equipment.Haven’t had a tank in about 3-4 years but been Reefing since early 2000. Planning on going with customaquariums.com and synergy reef for tank and sump. I have been lookin at other equipment but seems like everything I want to go with is out of stock everywhere, hope this changes or will slow this build down considerably. Here are a few pics of construction so far.

This looks like an epic build. Welcome to R2R. Post lots of pictures. LOL

Gonna be an awesome build. Can't wait to see the finished tank. Don't let everything being sold out currently stress you out. I am upgrading my tank to a 225 gal tank and feel your pain with everything being sold out.

I’m currently a lot further along than the photos. Those are a couple months old. Will post more pics later, as I’m at work now.

I happen to find these at rural king today. They are ace roto molds, 65 gal.Not as big as I wanted but about 100$ cheaper than online and no shipping cost.

Got my bar top almost finished, just a few minor details left. It’s a 12 foot live edge piece of ash.You will be able to sit at the bar and watch tv or watch the fish.

Who needs TV when you have a huge aquarium?

I assume this is going to be a reef tank, correct? Mixed reef, SPS dominant, ultimate softie tank?
Also any specific plans for fish, or waiting until later to start deciding what fish to get?

Yes it will be a mixed reef. Not sure exactly on what fish yet. Probably be the typical stuff. I haven’t been in a LFS in a while so not sure with the covid deal what’s available.
