Holy frijoles Dat ones gonna be a beast! How many gallons do you already have going there and how many total will it be after the big-un is done? Is the present system all plumbed together? Will they be plumbed together with the big system? Big tank gonna be a reef?

Hey Fishytime! The 4 tanks in the back are all plumbed together. The top two tanks are a 50 g and 65 g. There is a (i think) 40 gal refugium, and the sump. The front tank is a 65 with a ??g sump.

Not sure what I am going to do with the 350g. It will probably start as a fowlr, and then a reef as I won't be able to resist the temptation. I have always wanted to have larger fish (but not too large), and now I have the opportunity.

Btw, we split the garage in two 8 years ago. The front half is for the kids (bikes, freezer, junk....). The back half is my workshop/aquarium room. I wonder if I can list my fish as employees??!

LOL, another garage where cars don't live. I love it!

I can see the pics now, that is a monster And your other tanks, they deserve some more photos too!

I'm intrigued by the racking, where does one get that type of stuff?

I picked up the racking from Arpac down the street from Ocean Aquatics. It cost about $900.00, but for me was well worth the money. I run my business out of my garage, so part of it is a tax write-off

If anyone wants to order that type of racking, email me for some advice prior to doing so.

We did a bit of plumbing today - slow day at work . Thank goodness the boss understands. Oh wait, I'm the boss!

Dave from West Coast Aquariums did a great job. Everything was really tight for the space we had available . Everything seems to fit in well or maybe Dave just made it look easy. What is really great is that you can't really see the plumbing unless you crouch down to look at it.

Here are a few pictures of what we (Dave!) did today.







I'll be putting in the skimmer in a day or so. Still have a bit of plumbing to do.
