Wow it's been a while since I have updated anything. I recruited the help of 3 other friends and hefted the tank into place and I was relieved to see that it fit perfectly.

I'm sure you're getting anxious to get your tank. Mine came after a 14 month wait but the wait was worth it.

Yes, I am, but I am enjoying seeing a few of them get to their owners here on R2R. Interested in seeing how your rocks look when you get them in the tank. Looked good on the dry mock-up.

Awesome fish room. Lot of Reef Savvy build treads going on right now, I'm trying to follow them all. Just took delivery on my tank about a week ago took about 14 months also but it was for sure worth the wait, Beautifully built tanks. Good luck with your build, you are off to a terrific start

Thanks! I haven't finalized my aquascape but I bought 100# of the arag-alive Fiji pink sand. I am also going to use the Red Sea reef mature pro kit(s) to get the tank cycling once I get the plumbing finished.

Congrats on getting your tank. I saw yours when you got it. That is going to be a nice setup! Looking forward to seeing your progression.

I have 100 pounds of the Tropic Eden Tonga Reeflakes and about 75 pounds of BRS Pukani rock. The rock has been curing in a plastic drum since last July. I have even started a colony of amphipods in the rock. It is ready to go into the tank. At least I will be ahead of the game in getting the rock ready. :-)

Like Black Pearl, I have been anxiously watching the other Reef Savvy threads here. Glad there is another one coming to life. I will be following along, for sure!
 
I am going to have to make a trip to another town to find a schedule 80 elbow and bushing so I can do a water test. [HASHTAG]#ruralwyoming[/HASHTAG]

Very nice and thought out build. What will fill in the gap at the top of the tank?

The top of the tank is going to remain open. I will have something at the rear of the tank to block out the view of the fish room. I was going to have a wood shelf on hinges that would be lifted up to access the back of the tank but I may just use a black curtain for now.
