Thanks.


Tank is build, build in a few stages 1 tank, 2 euro brace and 3 exterior overflow box.
It looks great! I'll try and get some proper pics up but it's hard to photograph as it's a relatively big object in a small room.

i thought only painters wore white when working?

nice build cant wait to see more

This build makes me wish it was 6 months from now so I could read more of it in one sitting!

I'll try and speed things up for you! Actually I hope to get a ton done really quick, so stay tuned.

Oh wow I'm slow…

Relaxed hard off the tank build in the summer, then that stretched into recently. Still no fish or anything but I've made progress and water tested tank and sump. I'll post updates soon.

Everyone needs this shot:

looking great! If I could do it all again I'd definitely do a closed loop.

I've had the fresh water in there I guess two weeks with every thing running while I work on other stuff. No leaks!!

Hooking up salt water mixing station so I can get some water made. 60G salt water and 120G fresh water containers:

The bench above the 200G sump (build by Concepts, thanks!) is for skimmer, reactors etc. and all the electrical will go along the wall above and behind. Excuse the mess- work in progress.
Sorry for the lack of explanations on photos. If anyone has any questions or concerns with what they see please let me know.

Lights and other equipment next and dialling in the Apex to control it all. I'm impressed with the DC pumps so far.

Thanks for looking.

Looking great Dave! Nice work so far...

Thanks. Closed loops have always worked for me. I'm also a bit of a freak about not drilling the lower portions of the tank as you can see. Just my personal preference.
