Wayne your so Dramatic!

kidding

Looking good though. Not sure how i feel about being replaced by that other Jon guy though. His wood work is a lot better than mine so i guess i'll let it slide this time.

Looking forward to the revamp.

Hey Wayne, its a good thing you spoiled me not so long ago with all those frags. Now i can pay it forward and hook you up when ur ready, and some will be your old SPS and some mine and my new ones. Frag friends are the best!!!
And Jon, bravo on the crafty wood and metal skills!

This might be a stupid question, but did u do with all ur georgeous SPS?
Since the tank is empty I assume u got rid of it......
I hope u made lots of frags?

This will be his frag tank.. He still has his beatiful main tank full of SPS .. of which I am very jealous .......

It does pay to be nice and share with others.

A few did not make it and more don't look too hot anymore. I'll try to save as many as I can... If not, I'm gonna start over again.

The MDT is still full but it's not a pretty sight right now...

More update...

Finished the plumbing today...


Leak test...




Looking good is far...


Leak test was a success! Turned off the return pump to simulate a power failure. Whew, just enough room...


Jon was over to help me move the tank in place and we drained the water and added RO water and salt...



We also tried the lights over the tank...

Able to swivel the lights out of the way to add the new RO water into the tank...

Could not decide in whether to have the lights positioned horizontally or perpendicular to the tank...

Another pic of the sump...

Frag racks in the tank. Temp is almost there ( currently 74 degrees) and will be doing some serious fragging and dipping soon.
