Yes it is a custom built tank.

I have most of the major plumbing done, Just trying to finish the smaller stuff so I can wet test this baby.

Default Picture update

Plumbing almost finished just a few baffles and a couple holes to drill.





I made two dumps on the overflow side and moved the return to the other end.



My new Evil Par38 LED 20k 40 degree optics. picked up 2 I might get 2 more.



4 strips of LED mounted under the tank so I can see for maintenance



Back to work.....

Looking forward to seeing this build come together. I really like the looks of shallow tanks. The aquascaping ends up being more unique instead of the wall of live rock most people use in taller tanks.

I am sure it will take me a few times before I get the rock the way I like it. I have approx. 300lbs of LR that I will hand pick for the display and most of the rest will be going into the sump.

Update....

Well the system is full of SW and I am slowly transferring LR to the sump section. Nothing in the display yet but I am slowly removing some corals to the sump area. I am going to add a few more each day until I run out of room. I am trying to hand pick some LR I am going to use in the display.


I took a couple pics of the corals I moved into their temporary home.
