|  Grizz's 8' - 300 gal + 60 gal + 30 gal OMG Build!! Alright boys & girls here we go again........FINALLY!! I have been trying to get this build going for well over a yr now & have been thinking / planning almost everyday. This is the concept drawing that I mocked up many many many months ago & doesn't include the 60 gal cube or the 30 gal cube.

|   First step was to replace the laminate floor where the new tank is going to be.  Then came the building of the main stand & the 2 towers.   Main stand painted and into the house.

|   Question.   What do you plan to have in 30&60g tanks.  Species specific or different types of fish or coral?

|   Have you ever noticed that a hug is a sort of closed loop of arms? (.. I'm just saying...) In all seriousness I'm not a huge fan of closed loops either, Grizz. Carry on, and have fun with da build...
