Devs finally back

Ive finally had time with the tank after new house move and life. I was originally going to do a coast 2 coast on a 110 square but new place didnt have room. Friend had a 125 so we traded. I did a full rebuild and custom stand. Wifey wanted it to be Haunted mansion theme from disney, its about 95% done. Here it is so far from beginning to now. Ill do a couple posts.

Local hooked me up with a healthy hippo . Just need to put wallpaper in the shelves and led. Also going to carve out a memento mori eye for the middle and put some accents to make it pop. Wife loves it and has authorized my predator tank, picking that up soon so new build on that soon. Hope you all enjoyed! Its been a many year long build between sourcing parts, rebuilding lights and just doing what i wanted too from beginning

I've honestly been buying parts for last 2 years. I unfortunately purchased the wood during height of the pandemic which killed me! Knock on wood, tanks doing amazing right now I just need to get a lot more corals and fish. Plan to stock up once reefapalooza gets here in Orlando.
