Building your Reef!

Saltgator · Mar 4, 2015

So, in your building of your reef, did you rush it or plan it out slowly??? Post a comment or vote but I and possibly many would like to here what you planned out or if you rushed it. I for one rushed mine. I got newbie fever when I got my 240 and we'll I rushed it. Now I'm deciding on a complete rebuild to get a 240 worthy of videos. I have the fish and corals and inverts, but without a total package, what's a system really? So let's here it! Pics too if possible

I have rushed tanks in the past...40, 125, 150. They ended up messy tanks. I am tearing down two of those and redoing the 150 soon.

My last build, a 120, was carefully planned out piece by piece to be what I wanted in the end, took just over a year for it to see water.

My newest build, a 180, is getting built quicker but still being planned out. Two months in and it is wet. I have plans, but not as elaborate as the 120 just because of the end fish result.

My current 130g tank was meticulously planned out and took me a year, almost to the day of getting the tank itself, to get it wet. A lot of the delay was work and health issues, but I was in no hurry to get it all assembled. I am still working on finishing the stand.
