Wooah...I'm liking that "tonga" island. Tank looks fabulous

yeah man that Tonga island is beast

 

[spspirate]

It is! I added the two pieces together instead of having it strung out. I really like the open areas that I have in the reef. I'll add corals to the tonga too.

I don't believe I showed you guys my water station. When we had the mud room addition added on I asked the plumber if he would add a second water supply so I can easily make water. We also added a wash sink so I can clean my skimmer cup and any other equipment.

I Love it Andy! You're not worried about the pretty floor?

Where does everyone get these great water barrels from? I have a wash sink in my garage but need to tie the ro into my softner line as opposed to using straight well water (yuck in my case!) If i could get a good clean barrel i would do this too.

Not sure where you live but here in VA there is a store called aggri supply they have all different sizes. I think Northern tools has them also.

Thanks guys. I'm starting to drum up a fish list. I definitely want to focus on more fish in this reef than my last reef.

NAH..It's tile so messes clean up easy..Like Bobby mentioned Agri Supply or if you have a Tractor Supply near you try them, worse case you can order online.

Given the beauty of your corals, it's scary to think how striking this is going to be with a fish focus on this tank. Any particular fish picked out for a showpiece?

Aha, Tractor Supply is in my area, thanks :D !

For the past year I've been running the ro in my bathroom and oveflowing a 5g bucket. I know i should've had a float on it but it was on my trash can. Anyway i would forget it's running or the line fell out of the can. It was never more than a gallon at a time. The point: eventually it ruins tile too. Mine began lifting. Of course i hate that bathroom and it is the excuse to remodel now but Glenn says not until the ro goes to the garage lol! So I need a holding tank to do that.


So what kind of fish were you thinking of Andy?
