Wayne's 105g 'Rainforest of the Sea'

Looks great so far!

I have been a very impatient boy waiting for the new tank to get here..

A few updates of things of done while waiting..


Here is the set up as it sits.. everything ready to go!

Put up the light fixture last night. I am going with a 6x 54W ATI Powermodule because in my opinion, the most gorgeous tanks are run with T5s. So I am going to try them out!









Hoping to move things along quickly after the tank arrives. So until then!...

Looking great so far, can't wait to see the replacement tank arrive. I've just bought a 6x39w light unit. What tube combo have you gone for?

Thank you, and I cannot wait either! So far the combo is:
ATI Aquablue Special
ATI Blue+
ATI Fiji Pink
ATI Blue+
ATI Blue+
ATI Aquablue Special

I will see what this looks like with water in the tank and adjust from there but I feel like this is a good starting point

Its here! It's finally here!

Got the call that the new tank had arrived at AI last night at 5 and I had it in my house by 545

You will notice in the pictures that the overflow is on the opposite side from the renderings.. honest mistake on my part and miscommunication with Dave. Oh well, no problems! It will work just the same!

Dave was avid on the fact that if I wasn't okay with it he could rebuild it for me so it just goes to show the great customer service that he provides. Thank you very much Dave.

Anyways, here is a couple shots of the tank on the stand (iPhone 5). Plumbing has already commenced today.. will have pictures of that later.

I have the exact same combo on mine, except blue+ then blue special. Also using kz pink instead. You can the color in my build thread. Its more a 20k look.

It always blows my mind when talking to Dave the lengths he will go to for his customers on the tank builds. He's never hesitated to completely redo a tank if the customer is not happy. No better place to have a tank built.

Tank looks awesome now GET TO IT (and tighten gently).

Agreed. He has a customer in me for life! I'm working on it. Hoping to have FW in it tonight for a leak test

Dude that looks sweet. Why is that Christmas tree so bare? Apparently all the funds went into the tank build. Hope the kids aren't dissappointed.

LOL, I was going to say something about that Charlie Brown Christmas tree over there but I didn't want to be insensitive. It's like he was right in the middle of decorating but then he got the tank call and DROPPED EVERYTHING. I would have too. Tank looks sweet.
