dream build

It has arrived and it's alive! Alot has been done but still tons to do. By time it's all said and done this tank will be 99٪ fully automated. I'll still have to clean the glass, add salt to my mixing/AWC station and mix whatever I'm dosing. Super excited, it's gonna be legit.

Two years ago me and my girlfriend bought our first house together. When we made our purchase I made it very clear that there were only two things I wanted. First was an external structure I can use as a woodworking shop, and second was space for a massive fish tank. The first was easy, as we...

So I’ve got an Aqueon 210 and have convinced my wife to let me put it in the office-which is back up to the garage- and is letting me plumb it through the wall. My garage is insulated and the doors face north so they don’t get full sun all day, just the morning. I live in South Carolina and we...

Hello everyone, I am making this post to show off my new waterbox105.4 build. The tank was just delivered today, however I am moving to a new house soon so all equipment is going to sit and wait. I will be posting the journey of this tank on my instagram (Butcherreef) and on here. If you have...

Ahoy Reefers!!! After a separation and living with a friend for years I've finally settled down, bought a house and had a baby. With new stability and a kick butt new partner in life it's finally time to put up a new reef! This time it's my dream build! A Waterbox Aquariums Infinitia 275...

Good evening all! after some time away (2 years) and a move to a different state I’m gearing up to build my dream build in my new construction home! I won’t be starting a build thread just yet but want to get some opinions. Attached is the floor plan for both the crawl space and the main level...

Hi folks! Exciting times for us, we finally found a new place to live and... of course I had to make use of all that space in the new place for a bigger Tank. Luckily I was able to get hold of a rather large preowned acrylic tank for the current reef at a affordable price. Its dimensions are...

I'm currently in the beginning stages of planning to get a larger sized tank, at least 300g+ though probably closer to 500g+, and have about a million and a half questions. I did have a 65 gallon tank for close to 3 years, but sadly had to part with it due to changes in housing arrangements. Me...

I figured I would start a build thread to document my dream tank build so here we go! I currently have an IM Nuvo Fusion 40g, have had several reef tanks over the last 10+ years, even bred clownfish for a while - at one point I had 23 20g tanks in my garage hooked up to a 250g sump :) I...

On the 30th of January I traded for a new tank I had recently posted a build thread for my 75 gallon tank but you know impatient reefers can be sometimes when it comes to getting a bigger tank. So here’s a small look into what I’ve been doing so far and the list that I’ve compiled. Display -...

6 years after getting into this hobby I am putting together my dream tank. I have had several tanks over the years from a 20 tall, 29 gallon and a Nuvo 30L. The Nuvo 30L is still up and running and will be shut down once the new 151g is setup. 20 Gallon Build Thread -...

And a new saga begins... After 2 failed attempts at a 220 gallon tank, I'm going full power towards perfection. This build will be a culmination of 5 years of experience and hardships, hopefully budding into something beautiful. Thank you for following along on my journey. The tank will be...

Well the time has finally come... We took the plunge and ordered a new 200 gallon fish tank. This has been a dream in the making for the last 7 years and now it is finally coming to fruition. Now that the tank is ordered we have a couple months to get everything in line and ordered. The last...

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...

Time to start my build thread. Waterbox 230.6 was delivered a couple of weeks ago. Delayed a bit due to Hurricane Dorian. This will be setup in our new beach home we purchased. This was the last 230.6 made. Thanks to Angela for pulling some strings and making the white stand happen...
