My In Wall 150 Build

So here's some running shots to show how things fit in. The tank looks pretty open, i'll add a bit more liverock, but i'm planning on going pretty heavy SPS, so i'll leave room for stuff to grow.

I'm a fan of in wall aquariums as well. I wouldn't do it any other way. Good job and I love the details.

Thanks all

I should also add a big thanks to everyone who helped set this up. Nearly everything in this tank was bought from Canreef members. Met a bunch of nice people and learned a lot from all of you. I'll have to post a few more pics now after raiding Reeferrob's tank(thanks again). and also trading off my split anenome for a few more frags(thanks wayne).

Funny story about the BTA. Well, not so funny, but a story none the less. Mine split a little while ago but i didn't want to deal with selling it since i was setting up a new tank, and didn't know what direction i wanted to go with it. I ended up deciding that i'll part with one, and see about the other, if it moves i'll get rid of it too so that it doesn't take a walk through SPS one day. Well... it took a walk... and found a powerhead

There was pretty much nothing left of it. I Ran carbon pretty heavy for a few days, and skimmer was going crazy with the nastiest smelling skimmate i've ever smelled. But looks like everything's fine now, no other losses.
