New Home - New Build

[Kooma]

Ready to tank! Will do that over the weekend with my super strong daughter

I have a genuine question. I know RS gets a bad rep for the seam issues, but looking at this stand and the support on the center, it kind of makes sense to me. Are the majority of the seam issues using a RS stand?

Im no engineer, but id be terified of that much water with that little of support. Its a ikea cabinet..

This is not the completed stand, there is another brace installed later in the middle of the sump section. The floor of the cabinet, and installation. of the sump, come after this picture, followed by the brace.

I've read about the seam issues though. I was running a Red Sea Reefer 750xxl before this build, and over 5 years or so, I never had a seam issue. Otherwise I would not have stuck with Red Sea. Not sure. if those with seam issues did not take time to level the tank.

Sand is in, only took 1 40lb bag of CaribSea Aragonite Special Grade Dry. Will be adding water next to start cycling, along with some water and rock from my QT tank, which has been cycled now for a month or so. Nothing actually quarantining yet though.
