UPDATE:
It’s been about 3 months since we tore down the tank completely and replaced the stand by the Proclear crew and just wanted to show that the tank has recouped and is growing out again.

What? Why did you tear it down?

Remember the issue with the stand not being level? The space between the stand and the tank? Gary Lehr from ProClear came out with the other guys and swapped the stand out. They offered to transfer the livestock but I did that part myself. They did the lifting . Awesome guys. Thats great customer service.

I can't complain and thank Gary and the guys from Sea Life in Apopka for coming out and the job they did. As I said, great customer service.

Got my Christmas gift early
Been using the Reef Octopus Elite for a few days since Black Friday.
Had a small issue with the sump cover not allowing for the Silencer Pipe but it was a super easy fix with my drill.
All good

Love the build. Would you mind sharing what material you used to make the sump lids please? thanks

Those lid types came with my Pro-Star package.

Sorry for the delay. Those were the original lids.
I just dremeled them to fit the skimmer and hoses as I needed.
The new ones are lighter and a smooth finish
Both have features I like and dislike.
Thanks for the compliment.

Really gorgeous coloration! Everything looks so bright.

Thanks Mibu, it's coming along nicely. Corals are growing into each other and that's a whole new ball game. Time to frag! LOL

Thanks for sharing your journey so far! Looks amazing! Just upgraded from a 16g biocube to the prostar 200. Feeling a bit overwhelmed but this thread is definitely helping my anxiety haha. Going to start a build thread soon. For now I'm happy to just look at my empty tank and plan my next steps.

flyfisher2 · Oct 20, 2021

Thanks for the compliment. I love the layout at your home and the open space.
I personally enjoy the planning stage more than anything
Doing research and visualizing then implementing is so gratifying.
Take your time and research all aspects.
Good luck!
Looking forward to seeing your build tread.

Tank is now 13 months in.
I just had to cut back some sps and totally remove a Green MIlli which has been taking over and is the size of a softball.
It’s dropped spores all over the display and I’ve been scrapping them off with a scalpel.
Never thought I’d see the day that I’d call an sps a weed.
Lol

Very happy with my Proclear ProStar 60
