Guess I will just have to talk to you through your threads then :(

First. Awesome. So your doing a nabobox?

 

Yup, 24". Matte white with UNC blue accents. Dave said last night it should be done in about 2 weeks and will have a preview today.

Dave is making me a 24" for the display. ZEO reactor will be the clear tides, I really like the Vertex reactor; but I feel it is probably over kill for this size tank. What do you think?

-LFS received my new tank last Wednesday, they are just waiting for the new glassholes kit to come in.

-Contractor came out to do the new floors last Wednesday, but when they ripped up the livingroom there was still moisture on the plywood subflooring, so they needed it to fully dry. They are scheduled to come out Saturday and finish

-As long as the LFS finishes my tank this week, I will do plumbing on Saturday and fill it with water on Sunday.

 

Going to try and keep it real minimalist and I want more fish. I've never had more than 3 or 4 fish at once.

Can't wait for more updates. I would love to upgrade to a tank with similar dimensions. Could you pm me the price for a tank like that or just reply here if you don't mind. This is going to be an awesome build.

Thanks. It is just a regular Mr. Aqua. I bought it from a local guy brand new for a great deal. Most LFS can probably order them also.

Had a mini heart attack. I call the LFS and the guy goes "yea man, we cracked the new tank drilling it over the weekend"......"just kidding you can pick it up tonight."

Love tanks like this can't wait for your build if you going for this style. I have just re scaped I'm going for this kind of look I just need to buy a decent light so I can really start stocking up. You should check out Reef In The Sky the tanks above look very like it, it might even be it.

I will have two low rock structures that will have sps, then a whole lot of open white sand.

 

Around the rocks I will have my gold torch, pink hammer, and a couple clams. Probably some zoa's as well. But definitely keeping a low scape with tons of open sand.

 

Scape will be like this: but I will probably have the structure on the right pushed to the back more.

That's going to look good I love minimalistic. My left side of my tank is going to be stocked with LPS and my right side SPS.
