Beautiful setup. I like the steps to work on the tank.

Thanks, Best part. Makes for easy water changes, setting frags etc... Also let's you put tank at the height you want it at. So keep me posted. Sure yours will be awesome.

My only concern will be feeding the fish and coral on the back and not at front like I doing now but I may have to get use to it.

How I do it. I use turkey basters for corals for phytoplankton , marine snow, and even pellets. I turn the power heads off for about half an hourn and it makes it easy. Your lids will be turned around so feeding fish will be the same concept. It's not bad and your right, you will get used to it. It's going to feel backwards for awhile but think how beautiful your in wall will be and it makes everything easier. Need anything let me know. Again keep digging it's worth it.

Great thanks
 
Moving along looking great I know the painful process but it is so worth it in the end just keep us updated

Thanks Joel. Next step is fix the plumbing and add one line for the RODI unit and finish the tile on the floor.
 
If it was easy, everybody would do it. Keep it up, worth it in the end!!!

You're right Joel. Thanks for the encouragement. I wished I can work more quickly on this project but between the kids and all the other responsibilities I have to go slow. Also following the general rule of measuring twice cutting one. I least I finished redirecting the restroom plumbing and also working with the wiring for the tank's equipment.

You are right. Definitely don't rush it. It will come. I'm just saying don't give up and take your time!!! No different then a long tank cycle. Ha
