Alex B Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Very exciting build! Looking forward to more development. Following! Looks great Alex I am definitely going to follow this. Great job on the stand white is the right way to go wow thats awesome Stand looks good in white! Thanks guys!! So its almost ready to get wet! My wife says i am crazy and that i went really overboard for a frag tanks...lol...i say it could still be better! Decided to make the stand grey with a white inside. It was too much white with my pother furniture. The grey matches my sofa and a bunch of other stuff. Still need to seal it and make it shiny though.

D Z Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Came out great man. The washed out grey was a good choice. I was a little worried you would end up with too much white. Link to comment
NYfishies Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 So fresh and so clean!! That stand/sump/plumbing is just awesome. Great work! Following. Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 LOL, this is just going to be 1 of 3 frag tanks! What the actual F***! Haha my "Splurge" frag tank is going to be either a flood tray (24x24x8) or a Deep Blue 34 (36x18x12)! Not quite the same level Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 If i ever do a frag tank id do the deep blue 34 too. Yeah my LFS has one for $175 and its beautiful! Pre drilled, black silicon, etc. Only thing is the stand is $400- crazy! I would probably DIY one (God help me) Link to comment
Alex B Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Thanks everyone!! System has been running since last night. So far...so good... The herbie is super quite, the skimmer is already building a foam head, and my corals seem to be happy. I was scared about adding that much new water to the system in one shot, but everything went smooth. Hanging the light now, and then i need to program my apex. Also have to figure something out for the fuge lighting. Have 4 nanobox v2 arrays from my old hybrid i could prob use. Just need a heatsink and some drivers. Link to comment

Alex B Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Got a couple corals in the tank today. I really like how everything looks against the black background. Makes me want to go bare bottom with black starboard on my display! Moving more stuff over tonight. So far i like the bulb combo i picked. need to get some leds on this though!

HarryPotter Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Wow! Where are you getting these? I LOVE those Montiporas! How big is that green 'cap? Its freaking beautiful Link to comment
Alex B Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Wow! Where are you getting these? I LOVE those Montiporas! How big is that green 'cap? Its freaking beautiful The cap is decent size, prob like 5 inches. Most of my sps is all LE aquaculture stuff. Every once in a while i will find a gem at a wholesaler, but most is all grown out from frags. Link to comment
