It took me 3 hours to tap water fill only the 10 footer testing for leakage and added a pump for wave play WoW I love it it is like a kid splashing water around still excited and took few pictures as I will post tomorrow...

Maybe its time for an update as some have been asking me at the warehouse and texting no sure why nothing online,...here it goes

Just ordered the lights and decided to go with what I have been testing for the past couple years and really love the look and the coral growth.
Getting 10 of 100w led to start and could add more if needed going on a sliding rail over the tank.
6 X 100W 445nm royal blue
4 X 100W 40/60 hybrid
I will post photos and a build as soon as they arrive.

Now only placing 2 X WP60 as the waves are crazy thinking of adding couple more.

Went to the warehouse and picked few pieces of Pukani, Tonga Shelf and Tonga Branch I say roughly 800lbs.Sorry no individual photos byt will have a video up tonight as the rock is cycling in a new saltwater mix with about 100 lbs of already cycled rock in my old system.

I used maybe 2 lbs of FijiCrete for some of the rock work to make it that much sturdy.

Still waiting on 3 sumps for curing then install...

I love the setup. Good rockwork!

i like how the rock on the left hides your wp60. some neat little spots with depth in there.

The fish list is gonna be big.
Thinking 5 yellow tangs or a school of pyramid butterfly.
One regal that I had for 5 hears
Tons of colourful anthias
Sailffin had for 3 years
Peppermind hog fish had for 2 years
Sohal tang had for 1 year
3 other tangs I had for 2 years cannot remember name now
This tank is gonna be loaded with colors from fish to coral...that's the plan anyways.
