Is there even a tank in there?

Guys and Gals like yourself inspire me to build The Reef
I hope, one day, to have a tank as nice as Reefers like you.

Oh man you're too kind. Other than that it's inwall mine is pretty basic. I love builds like yours where you have clearly thought things through with a plan. You are well on your way to having an amazing reef in there before you know it.

Or even the rules ?

Missed everything on left side of picture, was there even a tank in that pic?

Is it the air conditioner on the window ?

Hi Greg, this is amazing. I remember reading the first page and pointing out to my wife that he was able to steal the bathroom for his RODI station. She scolded me on that comment.

I don't know if you answered this or not already, but won't you have a detritius trap underneath that stand for your protein skimmer? It doesn't look like the water flows underneath that first baffle, but rather it goes over top.

WOW! Very cool build. So neat and tidy! Some day... Some day...

[Madmak]

Looking very nice! I think we should compare notes sometime, spread the OCD around a bit!

Thanks everyone. The encouragement is helping my patience

Tony, you're too humble.

I'm glad you guys like the print. I have to keep it 'cause my dad printed it. He was even at the photo shoot - lucky bugger.

Yup, that's an A/C unit in the window. We have another in the Master. When it's too hot I leave the furnace fan running and they cool the whole house. I usually put them away for winter but got lazy this last fall.

Ya, I'll get some detritus under the skimmer stand, but I figured it's worth it. If I had the socks before the skimmer I'd lose too much return area which is why I decided to incorporate them with the bubble trap. The trade-off will allow me to do up to about a 20g running water change.

This is the skimmer stand



I have about 4" of clearance between it and the drain lines so I'll be able to slide the skimmer back to clean out that chamber. I'm thinking I'll probably use a turkey baster and dump it into the socks before a sock swap.

Thanks, I'm quite pleased with it all so far.

I got lucky with the master bathroom as my wife only uses the main. Since it's always been 'the boy's' bathroom, why not take advantage of it
