It's borderline embarrassing. Fingers crossed the tank should be done today or tomorrow, the final touches are currently being added. In other news my beloved Trachyphyllia somehow got blown into my Acans, let's just say it's Acans 1 : Trachy 0 - it should survive but it was smashed on the one side. The rock is pretty much cycle now though, so that's good news. More soon! (I hope). My build thread was over 2 years before I got my tank wet! You are doing just fine. Stay focused on the end result and don't rush it. It's going to be worth the wait for all of us I am sure. https://www.nano-reef.com/forums/topic/337494-bubbas-diy-218-gallon-coast-2-coast-coral-en-route/ 1 Quote Link to comment

The 12mm starphire glass is even sexier than I envisioned and everything turned out as I had hoped, all the delays and issues were worth it in the end. Let the fun begin! 24 Quote Link to comment

Sk8n Reefer Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Things are good, tanks still alive, haven't added anything and just trying to maintain right now Quote Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Now that setup looks the bee's knees SPS theme, mixed reef, softies? Quote Link to comment
Berlibee Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm sure it will be softies only, he doesn't have enough experience yet for SPS. 1 Quote Link to comment

Well, some talented SPS keepers also set up softie tanks for the relative ease of maintenance and especially for the flowing movement they provide. 3 Quote Link to comment

Thanks Nano, it will likely be an SPS theme but I'll have some LPS thrown in. On 6/23/2017 at 7:22 PM, Berlibee said: I'm sure it will be softies only, he doesn't have enough experience yet for SPS.

4x5 Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Transfer Day; Transfer day(s) went pretty smoothly, I had the tank running for a couple of days while completing some last minute plumbing. But all the fish and corals seem happy. Water and Final Scape; Excuse the less than ideal images, it's almost lights out time here and the tank is not totally clear yet but I wanted to share where I am at the moment. I created the second rock for the scape to try balance out the tank - I think it works pretty well. I'll be selling the gorgonians but some long time coral and fish friends have made the trip over and are enjoying all the extra space. 17 Quote Link to comment

It's a sign, get another tank. And thanks, I'm super happy with the tank, the space is nicer than I had imagined. Quote Link to comment
