I highly recommend ecorock shelf. This stuff is amazing to scape with and you get a lot of area per weight. Mine came from saltwaterfish.com and they have free shipping on all rock!

I had been shopping polymer to use as a base for my rock. It was going to be around $40 for the size piece I needed. While at Walmart yesterday my wife wanted to look at some kitchen wares. I saw these 20x15 inch poly cutting boards for $12! YOINK! Grabbed 2 and ripped to the size I needed. Cut the cost by 45% and it looks great! It's going to look awesome once it purples up.

Such a unique tank! Really like this build.

So I'm thinking about stocking this system 100% ORA. I think it would be a nice tribute to the tanks origins. How would you all feel about chosing the inhabitants for me?? Maybe I could provide a list of a few ORA corals or fish every couple weeks and you all pick what goes in? Perhaps a corresponding giveaway? What say ye people of reefdom?!

 

[Jgerm]

A unique way to stock an already unique tank. I vote yes!

Zero does a cameo lol

Update: We have nitrites and ammonia is declining. I'm considering an algae scrubber because I'm not planning on a refugium. Any suggestions on a particular scrubber?

I swapped to the 250 halide t5 fixture. It's pretty awesome. Unfortunately one of the T5 ballasts is dead. Anyone have a spare they want to donate?

Another kinda meh situation is that since I added the check valve, the varios2 is a bit underwhelming. Not getting as even of flow over all sides. Going to have to upgrade to a varios 5 or maybe a Neptune cor.

What's your opinion on hyper clean "surgical reef" systems? Can it be successful? I want to explore what can be done in this way. Keep following along and I'd really love some feedback.

That's the ultimate goal actually. I'm going to be doing video content on each one. I believe we will be giving some away as well. Any thoughts on how I could make this a fun contest?

Added a random flow generator. Solved the wave maker issue. I'll have some info on that thing soon. I call it " The great kazoo" lol
