Did some more work today. I got all my cabinet handles put on, my plumbing all glued and in place, protein skimmer put together for break in, and my gyre installed. Plumbing literally took me all day...so many small pieces to glue. I hope you all like the build so far. Tomorrow I will be aquascaping, and adding my sand, and doing a leak test. Hope it all goes well because I really don't wana fix anything at this point haha. Let me know what you think so far!
JimSWreef, out!
Did my leak test today no everything checked out just like I wanted. I had to tweak my Bean Animal overflow a little to get the siphon going, but wasn't too bad. It is now dead silent and working well.
Next , dove into my aquascaping....
That is a total of 77 lbs of reef rock 2.1 from BRS.
Aquascaping Complete.
Tank is full of saltwater and will begin cycling tomorrow. I don't know how anyone with a tank larger than a 29g does without a saltwater mixing station. That station is an absolute must have!!
Anyways, let me know what you think! All is going great so far!
JimSWreef, out!

By far in the list of favorite tank builds! Especially enjoyed the equipment being delivered via military helicopter! Keep up the great work and I will be following this thread closely so update frequently

Thanks, that means a lot. I put a lot of hard work and money into it.

My fathers high in a company who manufactures MH-60 Romeos. Love them
The Hughes 500 is my all time favirite. The rounded cockpit, not the one that comes to a point. Very agile fun helicopters to fly. The cyclic is very responsive

I've never had any experience with them but I know they are extremely responsive and controllable. Is this one of the copters they take you up site seeing in?
Well around here there's really only one, it's a yellow mosquitoe control helicopter and my buddy is the pilot. I don't have a license but he let's me get the control from time to time. I used to fly radio control helicopters with my dad so I have a good understanding on how they work. As far as sightseeing goes, I don't think we have that around here. I'm in Savannah ga,
