That’s a great looking tank

Truly impressive system sir! Great job with equipment selection and the rock work is amazing!
Super nice!

Sweet...so nice to have some movement in the tank! I also used Dr Tims, but added clownfish at the same time for the ammonia source(See Mr Saltwater Tank episode) and all is good 2 years later. I added a couple more fish a few weeks later and then corals with great results. Looking forward to seeing this filled.

Quick update. Sorry it's has been a little while life getting in the way. Lol.

It took 6 of us to put the tank on the stand 2 more people would have been nice to have.

Tank has been leveled and waiting for the cover. The sump is in place and I am starting to dry fit plumbing.

Tank looks amazing! What is the drain on the back wall in the center? I was guessing a Closed Loop inlet but it does not appear to be that.

Thanks. That was drilled for a closed loop/drain and fill for water changes. The truth is I didn't figure my measurements out right when I designed the room and it was tight in space but I did stub it out and capped it on the manifold for the pump. Which brings me to the next hold back. I had an ecotech L1i was going to use and I decided to use it for a back pump. The budget didn't allow for what I really want which is an Abyzz 200. I am now saving up for the new pump and will have it by 2019. Hopefully. Lol

Very cool! How big was that drain? In a few years I am going to be building my own peninsula tank with a closed loop and am gathering "intel"!

That is the flow meter going to my skimmer.

Looks great! How tall are your ceilings in the room with the display tank?

When you go into the gear icon for that what tile enable trends and get alarms.

It's been up running two months now. Everything is doing great. Did a little TLC today. Cleaned the skimmer cup, cleaned the glass and sand. Few more months and I will be getting some corals. [emoji16][emoji106]
