Looks very nice! Are you able to remove the skimmer for cleanings? Looks tight :)

Can anyone guess what this contraption will be used for? Hint I got the idea from a fellow R2R member.

Stand for rock to stay up

You got it!!! I'll be setting it up tonight. I've taken a note from ChristopherKriens I'm going for a similar look on a different scale. Thank you Chris for the great inspiration!!!

Thank you!

Love the shape of your tank!!!!

​Thank you! The only down fall on this tank is the size of the overflow box. It takes up way to much room.

Love a stand and color paint.. :) nice work

​Thank you! It's a color we have used in various areas of the house.

​We have Salty Water!!! The water is still a little cloudy, but that will clear up soon. The island rock came out just as I wanted it to. Had plenty of space on all side and top for coral growth. I'd really like to go all SPS on this rock with maybe a large clam in the center cavity. The left side is just a pile of dry rocks that I had hanging around. I'll be transferring most of my live rock from my bio-cube. All of it will be going on the left side. I want to have a lot of room for fish to swim and corals to grow.

Top down of the island. Lots of room on all side :)

I couldn't be more pleased with the look of this tank in my living room. By the end of the year I expect it will be starting to take on its full shape.

Question. Do I put chaeto in now, during the cycle or wait until the cycle is done?

 

[Big Larr]

I'm no pro but I think it should be ok to put now oh and still liking the set up man great job

 

[Big Larr]

How many pounds of sand did you put in yours

 

[kschweer]

Very nice! I think the cheato will be fine if you add it now

 

[rboutin111]

How many pounds of sand did you put in yours

80 lbs. I wanted a deep sand bed for my pistol shrimp, goby and wrasses.
