I know Ca is getting a lot of rain, I wonder if he has a hole in the roof. Getting wet just the same.

Oh boy, this thread is going to light up lol.
That looks great. Love the panel style layout of the Radions, that's the way to do it.

Dang holes!

I’ve been absent from the forums but have been active on Instagram. When I have some more time, I’ll post some more progress pics.

Greg,
Thanks for checking it.

Are you staying bare bottom, or would you rather not say?

i haven’t decided but I am leaning toward sand. Hard to tell how much flow is in the tank without detritus. I may have too much flow for sand.

1 vote for no sand here. Plus the lower rock work looks great with those claw type footprints creeping towards the front. Would hate to cover those with sand.

I wouldn’t be covering them. I’d only go with 1/2” to 3/4” deep on the sand

It’s going to snow in Cali.

Looking good Greg!

The tank is killer in person. So happy for Greg it’s been a long time coming. I can’t wait to go shopping once his system is full of corals and I am tank sitting.

I finished up the saltwater mixing station. It came out pretty nice.

The owner Larry is a great guy and actually a former aquarist. He invited me in and showed me a couple that fit the size I wanted in stock.
