Hello Everyone!
After much time browsing and lurking on the forums it is time that I start a build thread of my own. I have been working on this tank setup and fish room for a few months already so I will have multiple posts to get everything up-to-date.
After a recent renovation to our kitchen & dining room area, my wife made the mistake of saying that one of the walls lacked color/needed something… It was then that she realized the extent of her mistake. The Tank will go here!
We spent some time shopping around and looking through classifieds until we were able to find a local reefer who was getting out of the hobby and looking to sell his entire setup. This included some top of the line equipment and a 210 gallon display tank. While we lined up moving the tank and equipment, my wife and I decided to start on our aquascape and some construction in the basement to create my fish room to house the sump, R/O system, water mixing station, refugium, frag tank, etc.
For the aquascape we began purchasing by Marco rock base rock, shelf rock, and building rock. We used Gluemasters super glue with sand to hold everything together. The Aquascaping process took place over a few weeks with man hours invested.
This is pretty close to the last addition before getting things in the tank to make final adjustments.
We also started prepping and building the sump/fish room in the basement.
