That is looking good. I was wondering how it would look and it looks better than I expected.

Thanks, got the grout in I will fix the carpet tommorrow. Managed to dig out most of the equipment I will need from all of the packed up boxes of reef stuff in the garage.

Glad to see that you are moving right along on your build.

I had an opportunity to play around with my plumbing today. I am reusing most of the connections from the previous owner but am changing the pipes into the sump. I added 2 valves for siphon and open channel. I will have the emergency drain go straight down into the return section.

Framing for canopy is complete, need to mount the lights and figure out support to wall.

I like the look. What metal are you building it out of?

Thank you, it is made from Aluminum and stainless hardware. Going to paint it black and then figure out the skin

Got some major progress done today! Finished plumbing and mounting components, finished the canopy frame and got the tank and stand in the house.

First draft of aquascape, I want to have fewer coral this go round and let them growout without competing for space

Got the brickwork cemented together, changed it up slightly. Installed wall penetrations to garage for water change and top off. Also cut the skin for the canopy. Making RO, so hopefully I will be cycling by the weekend.

That scape looks really good! Wish I could have that sort of imagination when it comes to scaping... I literally plonked the rock in and hoped for the best lol!

Thank you, really wanted some negative space in this tank, and give coral room to grow.

Looking good. I really like the way the canopy is coming along. What kind of fish you thinking about for this tank?

Thank you! I kept all my smaller fish from the 150, but since I have sand in this tank i want to add some fish I could not barebottom. Current stock would be Clowns, wrasses, pajama cardinal, dottyback.

Some shots with one kessil on

Just letting the tank do its thing added 2 more blocks of xport no3 bricks for a total of 3. Been busy with a work project, here is a picture of its brain.

Tank is coming along nicely, but this last month has been long days and short weekends for me so still alot of detail work left for the tank. I have had the chance to add some clean up crew, and a few small fish. No issues so I plan to start transferring my fish this week. I also traded the SRO 5000 skimmer for a SRO 3000. Once I get all the fish in time to start transferring the corals!
