165 Gallon reef Build

[JaiWiz]

Should have my glass within the next 2 weeks. Using black silicone and putting on euro bracing. I'am in a bind as to what colour and what kind of sand to use, Not sure what i want just wondering what others in the reef community are leaning towards

[The Grizz]

If you decide to go with black sand like I am we should see if we can find a deal on it from somewhere.

2 50lb bags did over an inch in my 300.... the tahitian moon sand from big als.... Nice and heavy and still fine enough to be sand
I gave it to a friend of mine or I would have just given it to you...

I got my glass for my tank the other day. I'am super pumped to build it !!!! Unfortunately after I drill the glass and put it together it will be all i do for quite awhile. As i have run into budget issues which sucks big time but it is what it is.
I do have a last resort but i'am unwilling to turn to it, as i do not like having people throw it in my face that i owe them, even when you pay back as quick as you can lol

[The Grizz]

We will just have to keep an eye out for what you need used, I have got some good equipment when I first started with my 8'er.

Ya that would be sweet Grizz, i mean my budget is'nt shot but that sweet bubble magus skimmer i was lookin at is definately out of the question right now lol and i think you and i both know who i'am refering to about the " Last Resort" thing without saying any names lol. Its just gonna take me a little longer to set it up thats all

[The Grizz]

I have a couple skimmers that are good for 200 gals that I ran my 8'er with for almost a yr that we could use in the mean time & if I can get my LEDs I will have a couple 4' MH/t5 combo fixtures as well so not all is lost.

And I would have to kick your ass if you went down there and got in to debt with him.

[JaiWiz]

BBwaahahaha i would ask that you pre tie my noose if i went and got into debt down there lol, and i appreciate it grizz, i know it'll get set up with your help but your probably a little closer to setting your 300 up then i'am to setting my 180 up so we can put mine on the back burner for now cuz i still gotta frame that room up in the basement and i'll be lucky to get that done in the next month or two.

[The Grizz]

You need one of these for framing

[JaiWiz]

Everyone needs one of those for framing the world would be a better place lol
