spspirates 150 gallon build

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?

Thanks!! Im going to get a list together here soon and you guys tell me what you think.
 
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?

I love wrasses and tangs so that leaves a lot open..LOL. I'll get a wish list here soon.
 
Tank has cleared up a lot since the other day. Here are some updated shots. Going to do a water test Monday.

All great. Forward to continuing saga.
Vortech is one.?
 
Yes. One MP60. I may change out to two MP40's when all said and done but for now the 60 is doing a great job.
 
You should be able to find MP40s for cheap now that everyone is trying to jump on the Maxspect Gyre bandwagon
 
Just read through this whole thing. Fantastic job man.

Can't wait to see it with corals and fish
 
Wow man thanks. That's a lot of reading. The real fun begins soon. It's been a fun build but the enjoyment will be adding life.
 
[QUOTE = spspirate; 2094304] Да. Один MP60. Я могу изменить из двух MP40-х, когда все сказано и сделано, но сейчас 60 делает большую работу. [/ QUOTE]
60 - it is great. But I think the more different points of creating for the better. This is my opinion.
 
Looks cool, it is necessary to see how together with corals.
 
You make a good point and one I agree with. The 60 seems to bounce flow off the glass off the surface and back onto the islands. I'll know how the flow really is once I see how the coral polyps react.
