@The Camaro Show , do you have an expected date on the new tank?
Well the AGE 210g is here just sitting in the garage waiting for some electrical work to get done where the tank is going. I am adding one more frag tank for a total of 3. I went custom on this one for s few reasons 1. Being a shortage of factory frag tanks and 2. I just wanted a custom one lol. I went with CDA and decided on a 80g since I have 2 60gs to grow some taller stuff and a little more water volume. I was able to get them to put a rush on it since it’s only the tank since I have a stand for it built by Chris Bender of Sticks n Stones, hopefully ready in 3-4 weeks.

Chris Bender does great work! I miss going to his old house and sitting in the basement looking at his tank growing SPS to the top of the water level. I just spoke with him last week, he’s crazy busy building stands because he does such good work. Great choice!

Take care of that 210 AGE. I am not sure if there is any issues with storing a tank in a garage during the winter cold, but I would recommend looking into that if you haven't. Not sure what freezing weather would do to the silicone.

Looking forward to seeing the build take form! Is that Abyzz 400 powering multiple tanks? I forget, is your sump in the basement? I can only run my Abyzz 200 at 70% on my tank because it overwhelms my 1.5" syphon drain and causes the secondary drain to get loud!.

Thanks Nathan! I stored my 2 frag tanks in the garage for a while during the winter with no issues so far but I’ll look into it. The Abyzz is just powering the 210 but with my basement bashsea sump there is a lot of head pressure going from the basement grow out system upstairs to the family room where the 210 is going. I was pretty impressed with the build quality it weights a ton! Makes my ecotech m1s look like jebao lol.

Bank accounts are struggling to keep up. Kids college money gone. :)

Another Tank of mine, my very first tank that lead me into this wet world. I got this tank when I was just in 6th grade and to a 6th grader this tank seemed massive! I currently have this 90g as a planted discus tank with some nice plecos including a L46 true zebra pleco.
