Just gotta put on the plywood top and maybe bottom and we’re good to go. Wish my friends would/could make me nice things like that, ha. Do you plan on skinning staining or painting it? 1 Quote Link to comment

Sharbuckle Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Stand is here. Tank is on and sump is underneath. Now I just have to install some baffles, hang the lights, and plumb it all together! Quote Link to comment
Sharbuckle Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 We have a hole. Eshopps template was too small for the hole saw they prvoided for some reason so it didn’t get drilled in the right spot. A bit of modding. Aka breaking off some trim and we’re all good. 2 Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Yay! Why the new light fixture? Wasn't the one you were going use halides already? And you're going to have a 75g sump for a 50g tank, did I get that right? Quote Link to comment

The Giesseman fixture is much newer and nicer. Its also silver so matches the industrial stand. 3 Quote Link to comment

Sharbuckle Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Time to think about stocking plans. I really really want to take advantage of the top down view. I know 100% i want some clams and some RFA’s. Im thinking maybe a large population of gobies. Was going to put my antenatta in there but i think having a lot of different shrimp and inverts in this tank will be awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment
Sharbuckle Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Glass baffles - check Silicone - check return pump - check today, will be productive the big question is..... to waterfall or not to waterfall 1 Quote Link to comment
Sharbuckle Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Sicce Syncra 3.0 and Tunze 6040 for flow. May add another small powerhead for flow but we’ll see how this works out 2 Quote Link to comment

Sharbuckle Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Update time! baffles have been installed. Leak test passed. Just have to plumb this bad boy together, hang the lights on display and sump. If all goes well I will be plumbing it by next weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment
