Thanks for the compliment, griff500!

The internet will break when you put your first fish in there. ;):p


It's a beast of a skimmer. Sure wish Reef Dynamics was still in business.

I have that very skimmer but yours looks so much nicer on stand and color coordinated !

Thank you Bill. Looking forward to your build thread soon too.

Progress!

Thank you, Peach02! I could have paid a professional to complete the plumbing but I would not have been happy . Attention to detail takes time.

Love how neat your plumbing is!

Deliberate indeed!

Not slow... Deliberate.

Thank you for the compliment, GoVols!

holy... ;Cow

Test fire!!

Thank you, Corey!

Tim,
when you need a hand let me know. I’ll swing back by and help with whatever.
hope you and the family are staying safe and sane my brother!
see you soon!

Thank you, Chayse!

Looking Great Tim!

I am a big fan of Iwaki pumps, Silent. Just wish Iwaki made sump pumps for my house/basement as well.

I think I have seen pool pumps smaller than those lol.

Tim,

Jeff is a super humanbeing and wish he was still over Abyzz USA, as well.

He sure made some great skimmers.

I have spent the last 2 days reading this thread, all the sps pics make it worth it. Very nice system, live the attention to detail, I will need to hit you up for some frags in the near future once my new system is humming along to my liking, thanks for sharing

Yes indeed, Corey!

Glad we got those lights up high enough to not worry about the sea swirls. :cool:

Plumbing the big tank complete! Getting ready for the water test soon. Added unions to the Sea Swirls for easy maintenance. Will add fish soon if the plumbing holds up.

Amazing build thread, like so many others in this thread you are living the massive tank dream! I love the attention to detail and this is an excellent example of slow and steady wins the race! Keep up the good work, I'll be here living vicariously :D

What sort of differences have you noticed with the change of 14k to 20k? You seemed pretty set on daylight spectrum all the way throughout the bulk of this thread. Why did you decide to change?

What do you run your alkalinity and calcium at on your grow out tanks? The colors on those colonies are really spectacular. If you ever actually put corals in the reef savvy tank are you going to remove them from the 3x3 tiles? What is your plan/strategy for mounting them?

I realize that due to your having a phenomenal grow out system running, it has allowed you the time to be deliberate and careful, but come on man-at some point you are going to have to just take the plunge and actually make that a display tank instead of a giant display of equipment 99% of people here will never be able to afford.

Throw the crowd a bone and put something inside that thing!
