As some of you know this is my first build. So I’m sure there will be some interesting changes. Starting this build as soon as the rest of the equipment shows up. I’m open to suggestions and advice along the way. It will be appreciated.

Time to get things salty! Welcome.
 
Got the base rock structure made. I will tell you the reef putty was fun to work with. It definitely got hard faster than expected. I can see how people get addicted to saltwater and I don’t even have water in the tank yet. This was a blast to build.

I got the mesh lid in today and built it. It was a fairly easy build. Definitely was a better than some people post about.
