Hello All,
I've always wanted to make a thread to track the journey of a new build but never had anything cool enough to show off until now!!!! I would like to introduce you to the 100% custom drop off.
The tank was finally delivered the beginning of Dec. after a few months of waiting and...
Hey all!
Im building a new house and in the basement I’m going to build a custom, in wall aquarium. Right now, I’m thinking 5’ deep by 12’ wide by 8’ tall. It will have one viewing pane that I’m guessing will be about 6’x10’. I know, it’s big. Let’s assume I can manage this beast…
This will be...
About 10 years ago, I had a custom 65 G aquarium built by Miracles and was very happy with it. The process was easy and efficient with good communication. I've been out of the hobby, but planning the next adventure. I've submitted a few requests for quotes for a 120 G aquarium on...
Hi everyone :)
I want to take you guys on the journey of the Rogued Beast build. A little back story on why this tanks means a lot to me, before covid I had a successful ghetto rigged 75g long mixed reef. I was in the process of buying a Reefer 350 when mom got sick and was diagnosed with stage...
Can I start off with a big finally?
After secretly reading along from time to time and after 2 tanks, decided to bother you all with the progress of my new tank.
For the ones who don't know me, here are pictures of my current tanks
Any help i can get!!! lol
So I'm looking to build a 180g peninsula mix reef and can't find anything besides Redsea and Waterbox aquariums. Any suggestions where i could find some like this online?
I already looked into reef savvy. I'm not looking to buy an all in one and i'd also prefer low...
Hey Reef2Reef!
Been considering a build thread but just never had the time...until now! I'm a pediatric resident physician so I have VERY little free time but I use the tanks and care to decompress when im not taking care of the kids! Very therapeutic!
Ive been in the hobby my whole life...
I’ve been in the feeding hobby since I was 16. While most kids begged for a puppy I somehow convinced my parents to buy a 75 gallon saltwater tank instead. You might say that tank was a failure, but I fell in love with the hobby during those two years of heartache and frustration.
2 years ago I...
Thought I would start a thread for our in-wall rebuild.
Background
When we built our house ~15 years ago, we found a floor plan that was great for an in-wall. The garage had a double deep bay that backed up to the family room and would become a storage and support room. My wife and I spent an...
Hello R2R!
This has not been an easy decision to come to this point, particularly just as my tank has matured, stabilized, and I really began to enjoy it; however, have realized that the next few years are looking to be kind of wild so I have taken the decision to setp out of the hobby until I...
Howdy there!
I’m a little late to the game on getting my tank build posted in this thread considering that it has been up and running for almost 6 months (only two weeks away from the half-year checkpoint!)
Anyway, I still wanted to get it posted and show the progress and maybe inspire some...
Hello Everybody!
I started this build for a few reasons.....
1. It was super fun!!!!!!
2. Space requirements
3. Higher nitrates for mushrooms and softies
I definitely encourage everyone to try a build like this at least once! With a little patience and organizational skills it was actually a...
Hi there,
I'm a high school science teacher looking at adding a ~100 galloon mixed reef setup to my chemistry classroom. I'm looking at placing the tank behind my desk by a window where the tank could possibly be viewed in the hallway as well. A see-through peninsula is not a must, but would be...
I want to buy a custom aquarium.The dimension of the aquarium is 49x25x21 the back panel would be black and it would have 4 holes drilled on the back,2 for the low pro overflow and the other 2 for returns,and it would be rimless and my dad makes cabinets so I don’t need any so now I need help on...
So I’m looking to build custom mixed reef tank roughly 300+g but I need some points in the right direction! First where is a good place to buy glass? Hardware stores or order it cut? Should I double layer the bottom I have seen it holds up to shocks a little better not sure if that’s true...
Think I’m about ready to pull the trigger on putting my deposit down for my big tank upgrade and I’ve gone back and forth with a couple of configurations whether it be height, width, overflow style, stand considerations, etc. I think I’ve landed on a 48x24x18 (90G) from Reef Savvy.
What do you...
Hey everyone,
To start off, I figured I'd say a little about myself and my fiance and our experiences in the hobby. I am lucky enough to have a partner who is as enthusiastic about the hobby as myself (at some points she can be even a bit too enthusiastic...) We have now been in the...
I am in the market for a new tank in the range of around 180 to 225 Rimless. Thought I have been keeping fish and corals for over 20 years, the largest tank I've had was a 40g with a 10g sump, and I currently have a 28g and 10g, so this will be completely new territory for me.
I have a space in...
Hey Everyone! I am starting to get together a list of equipment for a new build I'm going to take on. I am building a through wall display tank. It will be 72" to 84" wide, 24" to 30" deep and tall.
I've had both acrylic and glass tanks in the past but never done anything larger than a 90...

I am looking for a new reef tank but haven't been able to find one online that suits my needs and stays in my budget. I want a peninsula/end flow tank that is glass and rimless. It would be great if it already had AIO filtration like the IM Nuvo tanks do. Here are the requirements...
Hey Everyone!
I am looking to purchase a new tank for a project I'm starting. It will be either 72" W x 24" D x 24" H or 72" W x 30" D x 24" H. During my research I have seen glass thickness anywhere from 1/4" to 3/4" thick for these size of tanks. I already know I'm getting one with no...
