I hear you man... it's looking baller! Unfortunately I just can't compete without a CNC. I have some ideas for my next tank build though.

We are all inspired by both of you guys. Just glad to be able to see what y'all can accomplish. Truly magnificent.

Like I said earlier, mind blowing in how this build (Vertex ) build is coming beautiful keep up the great work Elder1945

Thanks!
Yes the quality of the Vertex equipment is pushing me to get more and more creative.

OMG, this is really the most creative build I have ever seen. WOW. ;Jawdrop;Jawdrop;Jawdrop;Jawdrop;Jawdrop

Thanks.. I am going for cool with a hint of over the top...

Man, I don't know why more people aren't commenting here. Must be jealous and envious like me[emoji12]

I will have to talk to the owner of the site lol.

EPIC? no, too weak. Stupendous, Astonishing.....nah. Colossal ? Thesaurus please words fail me

Thanks!

Is there anything you can't do? Sure alot of tools to use, but without those skills they would not be much of a help. Insane imagination!

I remember seeing your old tank on youtube like a year ago but had no idea you built that monster your self.. But after seeing all this i'm not supriced in any way!

Cross stitch...

Incredible work ! ! !

Thanks!

Woow just out of imagination for me, what a built!!!!!!

I will get bored of this tank and sell it at some point.... Just a FYI....

@Broadfield, the competition just got steep my friend.[emoji3]

LOL.. I follow @Broadfield build thread and it is a amazing Reefer 450.

I hear you man... it's looking baller! Unfortunately I just can't compete without a CNC. I have some ideas for my next tank build though.

Yes the CNC helps 1000% ..

I was approached to do a Reefer 450 from someone who saw your build.. I might end up doing one as it would be a fun project. I look forward to seeing your new build .. I get bored of mine so quickly lol.

We are all inspired by both of you guys. Just glad to be able to see what y'all can accomplish. Truly magnificent.

@tj w I am doing my best to make something unique.. I hope more and more people will push the envelope of what is possible in the aquarium world.

Making Vertex look better than a Sea Dreams system. This is insane craftsmanship.

We are getting there! Still a million things to do but the stand is starting to look finished..

I am happy as of now how it is all turning out. I hope to have the tank at my house next week where I can do more finishing work on everything but we will see. I keep adding more and more to this build so it might never leave lol....

Let me know what you guys think! I am enjoying this build quite a bit

I am interested what the hood to this will be. Are you planning on hanging lights or will you have an enclosure around the lights? Might be an opportunity to incorporate even more of your talent and come up with some new innovative ideas. Really great build so far and I am excited to see what will go in the tank

To be honest I have yet to get that far lol... I had a rough idea of what I am making but no plans or drawings. I kinda build by the seat of my pants as it is relaxing to me. I truly enjoy building stuff...

I have a few ideas running around in my head but I want to get this tank home and settled. I also need to pick up my tank lol!

We will just have to see .
