[MrDellimore]

This looks like it is going to be a great build! I have been considering making a setup with a separate refugium like you. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

Following!

Today's progress.

looks like a lot of goodness happening here. Looking forward to seeing this come together.

After the sump and the tanks come I will fram in the lower half to give more stability. And I will add the 2 side walls on top just so when we are working and bringing in the tanks we dont accidentally fall off the sides lol. I'm adding 2 more 6x6 posts on the bottom to help with the load on that double outside sil. I know its overkill especially using 2x8s.

Thanks. I'm trying to get the deck done in time for the tanks to be here.

I love the width of this tank! Are you planning on having access from both the front and back of the tank?

As of right thos moment i will have access to all 3 sides from behind. We will see where that goes first.

Here are some new pics from today.

Ok. All fittings ordered, mixing tanks ordered, need to figure out how much pipe to get.

 

[Deep dive coral]

All joist are cut and in place. I'm not screwing the. In yet until the sump is in place to make it easier to maneuver. Next I'll but a temp floor down and put the header in on the wall. This way I can remove those beams to start on the main tank stand.

 

[Deep dive coral]

I ordered all of the plumbing fitting yesterday. AND look what just arrived. Not even 24 hours.

 

[Deep dive coral]

Sorry for being a little quiet I started a new position with work and been a little crazy. So all of the framing for the deck is done. And the header is installed. Replace the Sheet rock in the area with green board. Here are 2 new updated pictures. Also I placed 2 expensive orders with @Bulk Reef Supply and @SaltwaterAq. Tanks will be here the week of Thanksgiving. If anyone in the area might be willing to give a fellow reefer a hand moving some tanks that would be a major score.

 

[Deep dive coral]

Drew out all of the build today, cut the decking and will start building the stand tomorrow. As of right now the work on the tanks being delivered in Thanksgiving week. Kind of wish I was getting more feedback in here from people. At least let me know to keep posting or let it go.

 

[Deep dive coral]

So the equiptment list I promised:
6 g3 radion xr30w for the main tank
3 g2 radion xr30 for the smaller tanks (1 each)
7 mp40s in main display
5 mp10s- 1 in each cube and 2 in frag tank (NTP)
4 vectra L1 return pumps with redundancy
Kessil h80 refugium light
350g main tank
3x 40g cubes
110g sump
60g cube for refugium (still looking for one)
100w UV sterilizer
Bubble mag 300int skimmer
2x apex dos and DDMs
Apex system
Trident
2x 200g mixing station
I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff as well.

That’s a nice list of equipment. Interested in your 2x200 mixing station. What containers will be used?
Keep posting updates as you find a convenient time. Sometimes it takes a bit to get people’s attention.
The build is coming along nicely!

I'm using polyethylene vertical tanks. Drilled for 1in pvc bulkheads.
