Porterreefs Living room nem tank

[porterreef]

Hey everyone!
I have been keeping so bubble tip anemones for a few months and they are starting to out grow their temporary home in the frag tank so it was time to get this build going. Here is a list of what I have planned: 40 Breeder with a snergy reef 16" overflow, two kessil a350s and the rest besides skimmer and return pump will be DIY. Please feel free to make comments and suggestions! oh!......and enjoy!

Looks like it's going to be a pretty cool one - love the flow and dance of a well-made 'nem tank!

So after a busy weekend "not build related" I got the stand 90 percent done it just needs some trim around the corners, bottom, and top. I will be getting the paint done on the stand and trim put on this week sometimes. I also need to drill and paint the back and bottom of the tank. More pictures and updates soon!

Sorry everyone I moved so this thread and tank got put on the back burner. The tank still isn't fully plumbed but thats all thats missing is connecting the plumbing and adding water!
Before drilling. Spray painted the back and bottom of the tank....bottom because I was going to go bare bottom

Tank on the painted stand.(Sweet mint) was the color

Adding some white trim to class it up and also hide the seams

Made some holes two returns on the outsides and the two big holes are for the snergy reef overflow.

Next we are getting close the finish. Putting on the bulkheads and overflow.....

This is after the move and the tank got its first inhabitant!!

Cool stand, love my nems! I'm following along.

The next step is finding a dealer/ breeder that could help stock with baby clowns. Going the route of saying I would take 30 or so out of a spawn that are old enough to ship. A random batch of snowflakes or something cool.
If anyone has a lead let me know!

[Dsnakes]

This is going to be very nice! Good work

 

[porterreef]

It's going to need a fresh coat of paint because it got a couple of scuffs in the moving process but hopefully I can have it painted and trimmed by this weekend! Maybe even ready for water!
