I'm having a little buyers remorse to be honest. It was a BEAST for 7 of us to get to where it needed to go. Then the sheer size of it is just.....

rev, I have gone through the same emotions a couple of times since I got my tank. I would sit back and wonder what I had done. Then I thought about how much both me and my wife enjoy the reef. I have found that this feeling disappears as I actively work on the build: from plumbing to wet tests and aquascaping.

I remember then that this is my main hobby and that the pleasure it gives us overcomes the problems and doubts in getting there.

Thanks for that! It's seriously a little frightening!

Yah, it can be at times. Just remember, a build is many, many steps. When each one gets complete, there is a sense of satisfaction. I had some apprehension before some steps, but felt great after. Some day you are going to look back and say, well "we did it".

Maybe so but you got 3 beauties to model it for you! [emoji12] It is your dream tank, just take 1 day at a time, it'll be epic!

Just have to get used to "is it wet yet?!" Lol

Those really are some nice pieces! What substrate are you going to go with?

Yea I think so too!

Substrate? I decided to stay with sand and I'll be going with a Tropic Eden sand.

Nice! My friend is using finely crushed coral and it looks pretty nice, so I figured I'd ask.
So where is the sump for this thing? And lighting? I like the equipment side of things

 

[TaylorPilot]

Buyer's remorse?! What? It's not big enough?! LOL. As long as it built around and planned out for maintenance, it should be a pleasure.

I really like the tropic eden substrate, super clean, cleared up in hours and I didn't bother rinsing it, just ran some filter socks.
