KrazyKuch's & Michika's 180Gal Tank Build

[michika]

By next weekend I'll be anxiously watching my test kits to see how all the rock I add later today is working out!

SG is 1.030, glad we left the extra space in the tank, waiting on more RO/DI to bring down the SG.

Only problem with a Lookdown is that it would outgrow that tank. They get about 14-16".

Looks great so far!

That is why I passed on it, and the fact that my system is ready yet. The one I saw also had 6" streamers, easily making it way too big.

Something like that would be a much more appropriate choice in our next system, something considerably larger.

Wow, this is coming together fast, looks great!

Thank you everyone for the positive comments! I should have one more post to make later tonight.

It's coming together nicely, Catherine. Gonna be a real nice set-up.
