That's awesome. I'm still trying to figure a way to put a tank in my work truck😊 I have a heated garage guess ill just need a good lid and run the truck with either heat or the ac on at all times. But I don't think sgi would insure it 😡

Your boys are spoiled! I hope they enjoy it when its all complete.

Looking at skimmers today I think I'm going with a curve9 unless anyone has something bad to say about them?

Back too the lights dose anyone think I'd be ok with the led par 30 6500k bulbs from Home Depot then add blue led strips or will this cause algae too?

Glass finally came today only 2 weeks late. Oh well when I pay what I pay for glass can't complain will start the assembly tomorrow hopefully the kids hockey season is started already so that takes a good chunk of dads fun time lol.

I wouldn't put anything lighting setup that is less than 10K on a reef tank, personally speaking.

Two shots of the tank being built still need to add euro bracing.
