Yes soon. I have a little bit on my plate and will be updating my ELOS 70 build first. Then onto the KHD.. I have had some issues with stocking this tank... Not so much things not doing well but more on the fact that I have yet to make a decision on a direction..

I really need a better paying job, I feel like my reef is a unorganized cardboard box in comparison. The work and level of detail in your gear layout is just speechless. The health of your reefs are amazing!

Wow @Elder1945! That GHL light hood / acrylic box is absolutely beautiful like always WELL DONE!!!

So the time has come for my forever tank to be taken down.....

This is a sad day but discussing with my wife we think it is best to move forward. I have decided to work with Waterbox and replace this system with there 130.4. This new system although smaller then my current tank will be better as I also have a ELOS 70 that I am working on right now for my office.

The overall build of this system was quite fun but I am extremely excited about my new Waterbox and ELOS systems.

I have learned so much from building this system and honestly know now that larger reef systems are just not for me at this point in my life. Most people upgrade but it is hard to upgrade when you have already owned a 16 foot long reef.

So much more on the way with the ELOS 70 build and a soon to be launched build thread on my new Waterbox 130.4.

Thank you for all of the feed back and support.

That’s so sad to hear !!![emoji25][emoji25][emoji24][emoji22]

While I am sad to hear this, I do understand. We ard currently workin tv out tank sizes that we feel like handling. I just hope you find a good home for the 16 foot tank.

I will watch future progress. Good luck.

You have to be busy Guy and that Beast has to require a lot of work. 100 gallon is a manageable size for a busy household.
I always wonder how the wife feels about some of the projects I see on here. Mine barely tolerates my 75.

 

[hatfielj]

Darn, it only lasted like 1 year? Ouch. Hope you can recover some of the money invested

 

[najer]

Can't wait for the new build, thanks for sharing this with us.

 

[Sandbox]

Love it so far! Following as well =) I just ordered the Orphek's for my tank and I'm going back and forth about the GHL controller and doser. Love it.

I feel like some people enjoy the design, build, and set up more than the tank itself...

YUP YUP Its like a new Lego toy, machine or boat its all about the build and function

Yep,
The journey, not the destination

Hi, any updates?

 

[um02122]

Your build is insane.
Sometimes I feel that the other hobbies this hobby is generating could easily take over. Acrylic work. 3D printing. Reef pimping.
Saw your overhang stand on FB, had to tag along.

@Elder1945 what is the white foam board? Is the material light weight?
