teh 200g DD

[Karl Hevacheck]

I finally got some help to bring this inside after repainting the stand. I also beefed up the stand with some 2x4's. It has been leveled and ready for plumbing, then water. I am upgrading from a 120g sps tank. This tank will aslo be mostly sps. I love the space front to back. "Theres so much room for activities."

Very nice tank.

I didn't like the blue background so I tinted it black. I also got a chance to turn on the Vertex SR360, played with it a little. I will be running two Ocean Revive S206 units on the other side. I will also be doing a side by side comparison with some of my corals.

I couldn't figure how I was going to use filter socks. All the units sold seemed like it wouldn't work with my sump, and I didn't want to spend $50+ dollars to find out that it wouldn't work. I had to improvise and found these cheap universal cup holders. I broke off the bottoms and it fits perfect for a 4" filter sock.



More to come.

The skimmer finally broke in, and started to pull some gunk.

purple tang kept photo bombing my pics.

Updated pic. It's amazing how much the corals have grown in 6 months.

Looks good! I'll be starting a 200DD build in less than 2 months and I get geeked seeing what other people are doing with theirs!

 

[Karl Hevacheck]

Eric, are you making a stand for it or did you buy the factory stand?

 

[EW_Fish]
