*UPDATED* Custom 220 Inwall Build

Here are a few basement shots of construction taking place.

This is where we started.


This is the spot where the fish tank will sit in. It will have a two sides that are viewable and both are starphire glass aswell.


Not the best pic, but this is where the stand that the tank will sit on.


Another shot of the view from the rec room to the tank

Nice!! You might want to consider a flip up panel in the front for tank maintenance and aquascaping/coral placement though.

Unfortunately that is all drywalled and painted now, and we were going for a really clean look on the outside. I know it will sometimes be a pain in the butt to place corals, but thats also why we didn't go any deeper than 24".

The rest of the system includes a 90 gallon sump a 75 gallon salt water mixing/top off resevoir tank.

For Equipment:

BubbleKing 300 External Skimmer
Marine Tech Calcium Reactor
Marine Tech Kalk Reactor
3 Lumenarc Mini Reflectors with 12 K Reeflux 400 watt bulbs
T5 for actinics
Reeflo Dart for a return
2 - Tunze 6200's on wavyseas

And Hopefully if there's any money left over, a Profilux Controller

Looks sweet so far! How long 'till the tank gets on the stand?

[seanoman]

Hopefully any day now, just got a couple little things to wrap up before and then it can go down

With the obvious history in Reefing that you have, this may be an unnecessary statement but don't forget to put some type of styro under the tank...saw a buddies new 180 FW tank a day after installation and 2 weeks later it was all on the floor due to not remembering to do this. Painful...

I'm really looking forward to some Full tank shots on it's in place.
