Hey Robby! As you are aware, this one has been in the works for a very long time. Plus, I need more room for all those amazing SPS sticks to grow out.

It's about time, Tim! I can't wait until you finally get water in this. Amazing build so far.

Very innovative design on this tank....the bottom is comprised of two separate sheets of glass pressed together....can't make a tank any stronger than this one, along with the black Phantom bottom.

Very good question. I always liked the industrial look of a downtown micro brewery with a tap room opened to the public (ie, concrete walls and exposed ceilings, etc). And since I love to display my equipment just as much as my display reef, my vision will probably feature not just a fish room like you see in so many other threads, but rather, an entire fish basement lol. With plans to add a growler station/bar and a large flat screen TV too.

Ah. Maze. Ing. What are your plans for the room? Will you be finishing it off?

Hey Justin, No closed loop for me. On the larger tanks, the more holes you drill over time just means more leaks you could have....keeping it simple but it will be a very high flow reef....99% SPS sticks too, which is my passion.
Are you running a closed loop
