jason142's 180

[jason142]

Been a member now for a little while so figured it was about time to show my tank build. There is a lot of pictures to post so over the next couple of days I will be doing that then I will give the tank specifications.

Got the doors finished so now it is just some fine work to get done.

Here it is prepped and ready for the paint.

Painted and ready for the tank

And the 180 finally on its stand

Plumbed, filled with f/w and leak test in progress

In the house and a little over half full of s/w

And done

And the wide open stand, makes access to everything very easy.

The doors are done and mounted, this is what it looks like and how it was done.
Magnets on the inside frame that I installed to have the doors flush with the stand

Plates mounted to the back of the door for the magnets

Doors installed with the handles to be able to remove the doors

The begging of the reef, still lots of work to go

And the tranfer over from the 90 continues

Surf and turf that I lost shortly after the transfer
