So the day came and I aqua-scape my tank and filled it and got her running. I use all my existing live rock and water from my previous tank which was still running while I got my dream tank set up. I'm so stoked with how the aqua-scape and that turned out. Now to decide what color to paint or...

Cladding around the trickle filter and hung my zetlights to see how things look.

So I have been working on the tank almost every Free moment I get. Things are taking shape slowly. A few of my mad ideas seems to b working. I've done 98% of the Plumbing. As for the cladding it's needs to now b sanded and painted. My 1 mad idea was that the doors hook on and there no hinges my...

So some progress on my dream tank. Glass arrived and polystyrene and the day came to build the tank. I replaced the front glass side glass and back glass and bracing. After the build I got the plumbing in place from trickle filter to go the sump. There going to be 2 down pipes with valves and 1...

So I made myself a control panel. This is to hold most of the electrical stuff and of course the controllers. Still a work in progress.

Manifold designed and ready to be glued and put in place with my 1 return pump. Also all the plumbing has arrived. Now waiting for the glass next week to build the tank

So with advice and lots of research I think I will leave out the DSB. Make my refugium have two carpartments. One to grow cheato and other have live rock but have it lifted off the floor so better flow no dead spots. Can input live rock were the water come in the sump as well??

Thanks Jinx. Now I'm slightly confused and with that questioning my design now. I've always has DSB hence why I wanted to have one in this design. Now my confusion is refugium is a place for things to get refuge in. Like pods and all that. So I thought a DSB is a sort of refugium. Now what's the...

On Sunday was D day to collect tank ,stand and sump. Nine of my friends and myself arrived all ready to move the tank and load it and bring it home.

This was the tank I was given. The fish were donated to ushaka as they needed to go to a bigger retirement home. Tank size is 1900x700x700. Sump size is 1800x450x500. Stand size is 2010x1050x780.

So I'm going bigger once again. I was extremely lucky to be given a bigger system. The size of the tank was exactly what I've been dreaming to get. So the stars all aligned for me. I'm taking this slow and thinking of all different ideas and hopefully ideas from everyone experience here as this...
