[iReef86]

360lbs... I got this!! Haha

Got 3 beefy dudes to help me lug this on Saturday! Wifey said she'll get the door! ****!

I went to check out the tank! It's definitely one sexy beast! I love that it only has one center brace! So rooomy!

Removable facade got started last night! Looks pretty sweet as is! Check it out!

 

[iReef86]

Stand went into the house today!

What a fine job your doing! You could throw that stand off a 2 story building and I bet it would still stay intact!

Now Andy, you know a solid built stand has to pass the drop test!

Wow looks great so far! I swear I finally move up and you and Andy have to one up me. Time for a bigger tank for me I guess. Can't wait to see more. Any ideas on equipment?

Now now Bobby! You know it's not about 1 upping! Now I'm part of the DD club! It was an opportunity for us to really show our passion for the reefing hobby! The 120 wasn't big enough for me, and the 250g was almost double the sq footage! It only made sense! :-)

Looking Great mate!!

Thanks! Getting closer!

I LOVE DD :smile:

I love DD's too! All 60-36-27... Ok that's a bit much! But a 250g DD is super sexyyyy! :-)

 

[falconerr]

Was only joking I am super happy with my dd and things are coming along great and hope to see your dd have nothing but success. Very interested to see what equipment you go with especially skimmer.

Oh Yeah! Aquascape is endless, I just love that depth look to a tank ! Good luck with the sexy tank looking forward to the finish product !!

I know it'll be a slow progress but I am just transferring my equipment and livestock from the 120 for the moment...

Starting with the new tank, stand, canopy, and sump, and house!

My upgrade plan is:
1. Skimmer
2. Powerheads
3. Lights
4. Controller

Yes! The thoughts are rolling in my head. I'm pretty sure I'm going for a very open and minimal scape! We'll see what happens!

 

[iReef86]

Got my standard 75g in today... Time to make it a sump!

 

[spspirate]

Can't wait to see the design of the sump!

 

[iReef86]

Can't wait to see the design of the sump!

So, after designing my last 40br sump and seeing some of the ideas that acrylic tank builders have done after what I went through, I bet this will blow some socks off people's feet! Or at least I'm hopeful! :-)
Designing sump schematics now! It'll be similar to my 40br with a few quirks! Stay tuned!
