Nice setup..i went with the tank and light I posted earlier due to reviews that I read about them. I'm trying to do this tank as cheap as possible..now I just have to come up with a fool proof top off system or just add it daily. Now to look at some reefscappi g for ideas I want a central spire with levels to put different types of zoas on

I think I am going to change this post into my build post of my new tank, it will take some time to get going since i am going to wait until I get back from vacation in the first week of September, then i am going to start from scratch now live rock all base rock. so my cycle will be a few weeks. However, here is what I've done so far. I made two media reactors that will hold Bio Pellets, carbon, and G 20170712_191651_resized.jpg 20170712_201032_resized.jpg 20170712_191638_resized.jpg 20170712_200444_resized.jpg 20170712_200449_resized.jpg 20170712_200504_resized.jpg 20170712_200545_resized.jpg 20170712_202600_resized.jpg

I'm Working on building a stand so far i have a sketch of it that i built on sketch up...if you want the design file from sketch up i can email it to you. i will post the pictures as i build the stand. caveat I am not a master builder so it might not look exactly like the pic but i hope it turns out just like it. don't mind the measurements in the pic since i cant post a 3D representation of it the measurements don't exactly match up. fishtank.png

That's why I love google...i was looking last night about diy reef rock so I can get the shapes I want and I came across this....

So know I think I'm going to do something like that so I can grow out zoas and frag them easier...off to home depot....

Finally finished the tank stand..only thing I have to do is add a bottom shelf inside the stand.
