Just wanted to document progress of this tank build. Life has gotten too busy and I have downsized greatly over the past 6 months (stand alone frag tank was the first to go). This 50ext used to be plumbed into my display and was used for acro frags, but will be my only tank in a few weeks.

New stand is built, but still need to make doors and paint everything. Decided to go with a Trigger Platinum 26 for the sump and will keep using the 8 bulb ATI fixture over it

Finally got around to moving some rock over from the 180 and plumbing the sump. Lots of work left, but at least it’s going

Transferred the remaining livestock from the 180 this evening. I’ll more than likely rearrange the right side to make more spots for acros
