Let's see those empty tanks

[Jaebster]

Here's mine...

Red Sea 900XXXL... Been sitting in my garage since 01/29/2020 along with $$$'s worth of equipment, plumbing parts, etc. Pandemic is not helping any in speeding up the set-up.

In the process of cleaning up a former FW tank to convert to SW.

Waiting on the correct stand. Was supposed to be a dark walnut finish to match the rest of the dark woodwork in the house.

Tank was ordered middle of November, sump was built and filled with saltwater and rock to begin curing by the first of January.

Plumbing has been run and ready to set the tank in place and finalize.

First batch of fish have been run through QT. Running more fish through QT while waiting on the correct stand.

New stand should have been delivered first of April, but Custom Aquariums is located in Wisconsin and have been shut down due to the stay at home orders there.

Hopefully soon.....

Love your plumbing setup in the wall!

Here’s my new 310. Just delivered yesterday! Got a long way to go before it gets wet but it’s here

This thread makes me believe it is definitely ok to grab a new tank that fits the rock scape I built out of spare rock so that it can at least be on display! Hah

Love your plumbing setup in the wall!

Thanks, it was a bit of work, but it was worth it to not have to drill through the new hardwood floors in that space.

Well, this thread inspired me to get going on my build. I spent the day getting the plumbing installed, tap water in and dialing in the flow.

Also got the skimmer going and the powerheads set. It's running smooth as silk

tank is almost a year old, and its ready for more fish and some coral, no its not empty but the two quarantine tanks are, the only thing the wife has an issue about is the yellow frame, but is also thinks the other two tanks are temporary, haven't told her there will be waves of newcomers and all will be staying in the QT for months.....

Bought this in January used from a local reefer, and until this past week it's been sitting empty. It's proven to be a great distraction with us all stuck at home.

This is my 29. It was a softie tank for a while, but I don’t know what it’ll be next. Possibly a planted vivarium with freshwater shrimp and dart frogs. I’m still working out the details.

 

[Aqua Man]

Aqua cave in progress.

gonna be awhile because I have no idea what I’m doing! Lol

Easy enough to fix with a bit of spray paint.

Do several light layers and sand the finish with 300-400 grit before the final coat and you’ll get a nice drip-free smooth finish.

If you get a drip. Just sand it flat before spraying again.

You should be able to do it in an afternoon.

Yeah, don’t put COVID-19 in your tank...

Seriously though, is that the 6x bulb or 8x bulb sunpower fixture? What bulbs are you using?

A quick update:

I just took delivery of my empty tank!

I’ve got to finish putting up wood on my accent wall project, paint the back of the tank, and do some plumbing and I should have water going into the tank tomorrow!
