Planet Aquarium 310 build

[jwaldbusser]

Finally pulled the trigger and ordered an 8 ft tank and building a dedicated fish room directly behind it . Today it loaded on a truck and is headed to me .

Congrats!!! That sound like a really great tank; good luck!

Ran an outside air line and got the water line installed . My LFS is going to build stands for the sump and water changing station. First tank ever with zero gear in the stand . Not a kid anymore , not interested in crawling under a tank for maintenance.

 

[Gumbies R Us]

Following along! and congrats on the new tank!

we all have our poison lol. this year its the ski lodge for me and the family.

as for the set up from the looks of it it would appear your going after high end pieces. have you picked out the corals/fish yet?

I’ve got a decent collection of acros that I plan to expand it . As far as fish I’ve always wanted a good size school of yellow and purple tangs . Need to time it right . Skiing ! We’re on the border of Mexico , the thought of snow scares us lol

When it gets to 50 degrees the dog sleds and ear muffs come out here .

My wife and I love to ski, and I would ask you what lodge/mountain do you call home, but last I knew you had 'muted' me, so I guess I'll never know

I’ll get some better photos but here is my current build . I started reefing in high school back in the 90’s . Built my first sump with old school bio balls and the rest at Home Depot .

I know that when you "mute" someone, it still shows a reply, and I don't think there's a human alive that wouldn't take a peek at a message from someone they've "muted"

Sounds like we are not that far from each other. I'm about 20 minutes drive from Bristol Mountain in Western NY. My wife and I love Holiday Valley, and we really love Whiteface; hoping to get to both this year (and now Hunter!!! I'm looking at you @DmitryB!!!). I've not yet tried anything in the Poconos, but would love to
