Today's progress

Nice job so far. Looking forward to seeing the final product.

 

[Kbra]

Little more progress. Main pipes ran through wall. Still have to run RO and water change lines in.

 

[Mike&Terry]

WOW! This is going to be an awesome build! Looking forward to watching your progress... :bigsmile:

Gonna move over the few tangs(Achilles, blues, and yellow) and clowns from my 80 gal and break that down. Then add a few schools of fish (antheius and chromis).

Is that sump floor the rhino liner? How was that made.. it looks fantastic! I am really looking forward to the rest of this build! :plane:

Great looking build Kbra.. nice to see someone taking it slow and doing it right in the area vs all the locals that seem to setup tanks monthly and replace them just as fast.

Off topic.. but you made 2 posts on the local forum before you were kicked off (which was lame, but that is history now), one was that great video you made of your harlequin shrimp eating a starfish in timelapse, the other is your DIY mini fridge chiller. The chiller, I saw a thread a couple days ago with people slamming the idea, but I thought your build looked like it worked ok but since we never got to see the results, just the build, I was curious how it ended up working out for you. Back to the first part, can you post that video on this site of the shrimp eating the starfish? That is such a great video!

The sump is just ply siliconed in the seems and the 3 coats of sealer paint

More parts keep showing up.

 

[Electrobes]

Then take more pictures! :P

Have you decided what lights you are going to go with for this monster tank? Have you given thought to DIY?

I'll take pictures once they are in place LOL. Unfortunately this weekend will be a bust but updates a start coming soon.

As for lights I might go AI Vegas plus T5s. I had a AI Sol at one point and got good growth but not the best color. So I'm hoping the added spectrum of the Vegas plus some T5 will be efficient and effective

 

[pgr11]

I think the vega with t-5 will be sweet. I like it

 

[uall8up]

WOW! Looks amazing so far. I love the idea of going slow. Will be tagging along.

 

[Kbra]

More pipes done. Ready for a water test this weekend. Last to be plumbed still is the water change lines and ro.

 

[bige]

That looks awesome. What kind of pipes are those?
