I like it. So that is a shed outside next to your house? Turned into a fish room? I am in the research stage for my next upgrade and find this to be interesting. Hubby is not happy I am looking. But hey I could want boring little diamonds!

Yes...never thought of using it as a fish room until one day looking for options for a place to put my dream tank...And like out of nowhere it came to me...lololol

I like the way you think. Now if I can just get my darling husband to build my shed next to the house. I promise to tear it down if we have to move......

Are you letting the sump ride or cleaning it up from time to time? I'm blacking out mine as well for 60-90 days or so and after 20 or so days my cheato is growing like crazy, but the sump section has the nasty brown algae.

Look forward to seeing your progress.

Letting it ride....I for one that believes that the sump is suppose to be ugly so the DT don't have too....

3 weeks in.....looks like we are getting there

One more day and the paper comes off and I will be adding 2 chromis. Then start moving the fish from the 180 1 or 2 at a time every week.....tank will go 60 days with no lights on top. then after 60 day I will move all the corals over and start the tear down of the 180....

Looking good. Is that small black box with silver tubing inside the shed tapped into your HVAC/AC? I'm in SW FL area as well, and planning a similar sized build..I am thinking of putting my top off/mixing station outside in a smaller shed and am a bit worried about heat.
