Stylasters 312 gallon tank build

So I understand why u staggered the sea swirls at different lengths in the tank but do u think it has an overall better effect on the tank that way? Very nice build an congrats

Yes i think it does the shorter one provides a lot of surface movement, while the longer one helps move water down under the rock work keeping the detritus in suspension till it can either collect in the corner where i can suction it out, or go over the overflow into the sump

Redid the floor in the tank room. Went with porcelain wood like tile. Came out great. Big thank you to my friend Brian who helped with this project. Last part is to grout and seal it

Absolutely beautiful setup man! Also glad to see a lot of WA reefers responding to your thread! Came over from Freshwater and the scene in PNW is just non existent it seems sometimes. You trade any corals locally? Im up in Kirkland, so not too far.
One other question, with all those wrasses, don't you want to have some sand in there for them to dive into at night? Or am I missing a section that does have sand for them?

Beautiful tank!

Thanks! the wrasses i have are rock dwellers and do fine without any sand in the tank. I do sell and trade corals, im in Kelso, so sw wa. Shoot me a pm if you want to setup some trades!

Just saw you are in Kelso. I am setting up a tank and would love to come by and check out your setup. I live in Vancouver Wa. My 6 year old would love to see the tank!
