Complex beginner build

[Hulgarth]

Amazing build mate. I think it might be the most overbuilt tank on earth and should outlive the sun. If you can get some nice rubble with lots of algae on it already it might help the rock mature faster.

Amazing accomplishment. Looking forward see tank down the road

I went a little crazy and got more fish! I wanted the clowns to have a few more circus mates to hang with while I leave the tank for a few weeks on auto pilot. when I return I hope to find some other cool reef safe additions like a mandarin and some tangs!

For the next few weeks my stock list is and will be:

onyx the clown
Larry the clown
Chucky the yellow coris wrasse
Salvador the Solar Wrass
Blenny the Blenny
Xena the Royal Gramma

2 unnamed conks that I will eat when they get bigger! (I am from the Caribbean where we eat these!)
Few hermit crabs
A few snails

I don't know about your reefing experience, i'll simply suggest you give a good read on those mandarins, and maybe wait a little longer before adding one. Can'T ait to see your next pics

@ OP.

salute to you ;Woot !!! you had some serious balls to do this for first time and the fact that you built your tank was crazy enough, but when you went around the pipe as well... ouch!!!

congratulations!

I wish I would have been following this from the get go! Amazing! I love it when people just go for it on a build like this.

I don’t know what you do for a day job but you might of stumbled onto your calling. I don’t know any tank builders that would of taken that job let alone done such a wonderful job with it.

Man, @Adellimore, when I first saw your idea to put a tank around a post like that I thought there was zero chance of that working out. I'm thrilled to be wrong! Congrats on the fine work. Any updates?

 

[anon9896]

Are you back ? I want an update lol

 

[Bam327]

This is simply amazing. Unbelievable that you have had no experience in building tanks and you pulled this off. When I first started reading your thread I rolled my eyes and thought yeah right. Very well done

 

[X-37B]

Amazing! Keep us mortals updated lol.

 

[New&no clue]

I was sitting here reading through some builds and thought to myself... remember that guy that built a tank around a pole, what’s he up to? ...well, what are you up to?

Update?
