got the beast plumbed!.....

bottom side










top side






everything checked out perfect with no leaks, so I pushed the tank back to the wall and threw the level on the tank and bam!.....no shimming required....first basement floor I think I ever seen that was level

thanks man....I did get lucky with the floor.... my build isnt actually taking that long now that I have the tank.....oh well waiting as long as I did for the tank allowed me to save the coin to go high-end-ish with my equipement....good to hear you got your tank salty!

so your saying if any part of your stand isnt touching the floor, it should carry the weight and not need to be shimmed???

my job was to get her wet....now its Lauries job to make it salty

Good to see her wet man. That skimmer is a brute lol. I've seen full reef tanks smaller than that skimmer.
Keep those pics coming

its funny you say that....I was wondering how many gallons the thing holds and if I should have made allowances for it in a power out situation





I got off work a little early today so I figured if I wasnt making money, I should go spend some.....good logic eh?....I picked up the last remaining pieces of the puzzle today.....I had one from before and got three today...lighting done, *check*....hopefully this will be all the tank needs and I dont have to use my T5s .....also grabbed another 300w heater for good measure...
