"Seriak is back" Build
 

Well after a long break from this hobby I am finally back at it. I was initially looking at buying a used tank off a fellow reefer, but I ended up talking to Dave at Concept Aquatics and I just couldn't say no to his prices and service.

Dave had a stand wipped up for me right away but it took a little longer for the tank and sump.

Here is the stand. Standard 48" X 24" X 33"

Once I received the tank I wasn't quite happy with a couple air bubbles in the tint so I decided I could fix that. Oh what a mistake. I ended up ruining the tint job on the back, but Dave was nice enough to come over and redo the tint at no charge. I can't believe the service he provided.

Here is the tank. Standard 48" X 24" X 24" - 120 gallon

I immediately decided to test the tank with some local wildlife.

I am now in the plumbing and filling stage so I will have to get some pictures going of the entire setup soon.

Looks great so far. Is that glass or acrylic and how much did the stand, tank, and sump cost with setup? Take pictures of everything and throw them up on here.

+1, as I too am just getting back into the hobby and would love to see your progress as I'm looking at a similar size (or 150g, 5'x2'x2'). I however am still months away as I'm still hanging drywall.

I also think you should have gotten a bigger tank. That "local wildlife" is going to outgrow that tank pretty quickly. Something more like a 2000gal would have been more accommodating for them. :P

An awesome start. Can't wait to see where this build goes! Welcome back to the fray Chris. :)

Thanks guys,

The tank is all glass with 3 sides being starphire and the top has the standard euro bracing. It has a large external overflow where I will be using a bean animal setup.

I am not too concerned about the size of the local wildlife as I have already rehomed them into a much larger enclosure.

Your kids are adorable! When I was a little girl I would have sold my siblings for a play castle like that.

Thank you so much. We raised them ourselves.
