In the close up pic of the sump & stand, you can se the two stacked 2x3s & they are glued & screwed onto a 2x6 inside.

No I meant the Honda up on your stand!

Old CRV or new CRV? The older ones are much smaller and it won't be anywhere near as impressive.

Tank and in particular the aquascape looks great man.

Looks great Anthony!
On the back left side of the tank there is what looks like some Monti Cap growing. Are they covering a return line or PH?

Sorry, old CRV. With this addiction, do you really think I could afford a new CRV?

The original frags were glued onto a plastic return pipe from an old filter system. The pieces have since grown & been fragged several times. Works great since I can move it around no problem. It was transferred from my 210g reef into the new tank in under 10 seconds & did NOT involve any breaking or cutting either.

So, after one week, the tank is still doing extremely well. Have to add the NPX pellets & ATO today, as well as finish the side plywood/door panels.

Haven't added any more fish yet, but a few more corals now call the 220g home.

Since we've decided to stick with the 2 lights instead of 3 over this tank (love the look of contrasting light/shadows/light), that's going to hopefully help curb my obsession with adding more & more corals into this "fish" tank.

Hi Anthony

The tank is looking great.

You are hands down the best aqua sculptor I know.

One or two weeks into it and you have a tank that most would die for.

Congrats on yet another fabulous tank, you make it look too easy.

Well for those who didn't read my other thread, this tank cracked (front pane) Monday, Sept. 6th around midnight and dumped a tonne of sw all over our floors and carpets & loveseat.

Thanks to my very good & generous friend, Chin Lee, I now have his old 165g painted & resealed and ready to be reincarnated as the replacement tank for the busted 220g.

I will start a new tank journal thread when I have time to keep track of this new build.
