Large new build.

I would recommend putting sheet rock on the ceiling above the fish tank. The fibers from the insulation will inevitably end up getting in the tank. I don't know if they will really do any harm to the tank but, it will certainly be a pain to clean up.

I plan on it

Where did you get your plumbing and fittings from?

The ball valves are from supplyhouse.com. the pipe and fittings are from various sources, my shop, supply house, Lowe's, home Depot

Excellent. Thankyou for the quick update.

 

[Scurvy]

Wow, I miss a couple of monhs of updates and bang you have glass! Looks great!

I would've tapped out (Literaly?) trying to to get through the foundation of the house with a chisel and hammer

 

[Gyerfat]

Taking it slow. Nothing new to report yet. Just sitting in a chair and thinking with this new view

 

[Gyerfat]

Not sure why, the porcupine puffer, no matter the tank, he swims back and forth the top rear edge of the tank 24/7.

 

[Deep dive coral]

The puffer might see his reflection lol

 

[Blitheran]

Wow! Love it!

 

[Gyerfat]

Caught my foxface, yellow tang, cardinal, chromie (the last surviver from my last start up). And another tang that is grey, I don't what he is

 

[scobeyra]

If the tang is grey with a white tail and orange on the tips of his dorsal fins it's likely a Tomini tang. Underrated tang imo

I added the last of my fish today. The water is still a little cloudy from moving the rocks around. I got my Geo carbon filter running today as well. My puffer, naso tang. And clown trigger. The naso is so happy swimming laps. Now just going to let the tank sit for a few months. Time to start cleaning (hahaha) and getting ready for a reef tank

Really looking awesome! You must be so glad to see it full of fish.

I just enjoy building, it is nice to see how happy the fish are. They came from 4 different tanks and you can definitely see a difference in their personalities

How long did it take to fill the tank with RO/DI water? Seems like it was quick.

I used 2 big blue filters on my City water. Sediment first then carbon to remove the chlorine. I ordered 3-300 gallon water tanks to hold my r.o. Water.

I feel the same. I am thinking lately I like starting a setup more than maintaining it, LOL.

 

[Gyerfat]

Good morning

 

[Gyerfat]

So I just sat around all day waiting for my 3/300 gallon water tanks. Somebody drove a forklift through them there's a hole in each one.

Not really, it's so common now these days. It's kind of expected. I don't know how some stay in business
