Thanks Clayton! I'm very happy with the tank as far as size goes. I thought it was going to be easy to aquascape! That was far from true... The sump quality is fantastic! Bashsea makes a great product for sure. I will be using their reactors and possibly their skimmer if an upgrade is needed down the road.

Thank you dustint21, I love the size of your tank! That’s great to hear about Bashsea! I a, in absolute love with there sumps !

Got the stand tonight. Did a quick test fit. Everything looks great. Going to stain it this week. Hope to have water in the tank tomorrow!

Ok so 97% plumbed. Have to make the last of 32 trips to Lowe’s for that little project. No I’m playing around with the rock work. What do y’all think?

I like the scape also. What dosing containers are those?

Thanks! R2R is a great place, but it also is the devil! I was perfectly happy with my DIY Sumps and what not. Then I started doing some trolling on R2R and some of these guys just have a knack for building eye catching systems. @Broadfield and his amazing setup is what started a fire under my butt to make something that looked good. If it wasn’t for running across his setup on google I would have never taken the plunge into the color matching display sump style setup.

Really wish I could make water faster! Had a set back last night and poked a whole in my hose... had to get another hose before work this morning! Got 44 gallons made while I was at work. Now I will be up all night waiting for the last of it to be able to fill the tank!

Tank is full! Skimmer is pulling poo!

That’s good to hear! I am still waiting for my big ticket item to come in from Black Friday sales !

Really looking nice, love the rockscape! You are a ways ahead of me but I hope to start catching up this weekend!

You do the opposite of me Dustin. You're more detailed on your national build thread and less detailed on your local build thread. [emoji23]

Like I said on our local forum, clean build man. Looks sharp!
