Thanks to
Sluf for helping me those days on plumbing, and helping frame that stuff
Monster reef thanks for the floor and tile work
DYknox its been a bit but thanks for helping me frame
And to the crew who helped me set this monster in place.


Time for me to take the reins and finish this DIY project. I also have a privacy fence around my pool I need to finish. AND a garage. SO I will post some pics of progress the next few days. Slow because i sold my smart phone and am waiting on the new Galaxy Note 3.lol. So for now I roll with my work flip phone and Ipad lol.

I cant believe We put 1200lbs of rock in that bad boy and i still need about 400lbs of BIG pieces. My other tank is not broke down yet because I want this one to be up and cycled so I can just move coral and rock over and get the other tank out of the house. That tank has about 1000lbs in it. But, alot of rock has coral on it that has over taken the rock(which I'm not complaining) lol. So now the rack system for the lighting is being built by monster reef so that I can continue the rest of the projects.

That would be awesome. Ya work is so busy, I have cases stacked up lol. Thats why I love this hobby, it gives me some solace. My wife is excited to see it completed, while the tank is cycling i will be building the rec/lounge room that the tank faces and the garage. Busy year for me.

Ok need some advice...

I am going to be putting custom lids on my sumps to prevent/slow evaporation rate. and also to keep foreign material from entering the system. I will be cutting out a custom Clear acrylic for my refugium sump but for the others that don't need light all the time what should I use?
