I still have to even out a couple of the boards but the electronics wall is built for behind the tank.

Thanks.

Thanks. I currently have a false wall in my stand on the 210. In theory it works great but in practice its been kind of a nightmare. All the cords behind the door are a complete rats nest. Getting equipment in and out is a real pain.

For this build I wanted something to still hide wires (hence the slots between the boards) yet easy to get equipment cords in and out. The sides of the boards are open to be able to do this. I also have open channels in the middle section behind the boards to easily move cords in and out from that section. This should work better.

Had a great conversation with Derek over at Miracles today. The tank will be shipping out the week of October 16th. He also sent me more pictures of the tank and pictures of the sump which I added to post 2 of this thread.

I also picked up a Red Dragon 3 230w return pump. I still have the 2 COR20's but I decided I need more flow through the UV then what a COR20 could provide.

It did not, delayed again. They said it was supposed to ship yesterday. I emailed him today and he said it will ship today and that he would call me after lunch. We shall see. Sounds like they have their hands full today between your tank and mine.

Hate that it keeps getting delayed!

Order placed on 07/08/23. My buddy reminds me to just be patient. His standard size Cade was delayed a bunch too. He keeps telling me it will be worth the wait. I believe this is now the 3rd or 4th delay. In our original conversation I was told production time was 10-12 weeks. We are now on week 16.

Hate that it keeps getting delayed!

Same here. Frustrated but what can I do but wait and practice patience.

My rocks have that same toothbrush! Lol

Great build! Following along

Tracking says it will be here on Monday November 6th. I won't be able to pick it up until the 10th. This is going to be a long couple of weeks!!

Started to get electronics mounted on the wall.

 

[Harpo]

I'm waiting patiently for Derek to give me my ship date.

Please tell me there will be Moorish Idols in this one?

Great start! Wish you all the best.

Just sent in the money for my 600 gallon peninsula! I’ve been collecting fish and trying to plan things out. There’s so much to do lol. I was originally going to do MP60s on the back but with the total thickness of that panel being 1.25” that’s not going to work.

@Raul-7 I am really close to trying a pair of idols
