Thanks - started a build thread with more pics of the stand as well, anxious to finish the doors and get her inside!

Build Thread - 907 Tank & Stand Build - 55 Gallon

Welcome to our little build thread for this Alaskan 55 gallon tank! I'll be using this first post to house photos of tank stages, equipment listing, livestock & coral statuses, links, etc. In this thread we'll focus on the tank (our second 55 gal), with a slice of Alaskan scenery and...

Thanks! That was the intake for our protein skimmer. Can't say I'll remember what brand that was though! Bought around early 2012.

Thanks

Since I found some more old pics, here's to hoping we can add a pistol shrimp and goby pair to this one as well. They were so fun to watch

Hey everyone, new members (wife and I) up here up in Alaska. Finally getting back into saltwater after we sold our last (and first) tank in 2013, to move to AK. We recently moved in state closer to an area with available saltwater supplies, so it's on!!

Wanted to throw out a quick introduction since I'll likely be asking you all a number of questions (after searching of course!) as we get acclimated back to the hobby. We are pumped!

We will be running a 55 gallon tank, no sump - I'm just finishing the final touches on a custom stand (will start a build thread as well!). BRS 4-stage RODI system is installed and ready for duty! Lighting, skimmer, pumps, other accessories already in hand. Anticipating next week to run to town for live sand and live rock, and we'll be rolling.

Current progress:

Our last 55 gallon, circa 2013. Miss that tank..

Anyway, see y'all around the forum!

Welcome! Glad you joined. GORGEOUS past tanks!

CONGRATULATIONS on having your Build Thread Badge already - you are on your way!
