I think you need to move the tank two 1/4 inch to the left ....

Looking good

it's so hard to keep live rock live and aquascape at the same time. Getting there tho. I have most of the rock out of the holding tank but the rest I'm gonna have to snorkel for and Dodge some rabbitfish spines and urcins.

got everything transferred over last nite minus equipment. Got alittle sand to sift around and maybe move some rock around on the small side it looks alittle cluster but we have progress!!!

I see one kessil, will the whole thing be lit by Kessil?

Im not sure yet I think on the deep end I may do t5 led hybrid to get the light penetration. Then on the shallow side I might to 2 or 3 A360s. I've been looking at tanks lit by the hybrid lighting and it looks good plus I would eventually like to have some sps so I think the t5's would definitely help along with the bigger kessils. Then that way I could also compare which lighting grows better too.

Once I get some better lights on this thing hopefully get some better pictures. And my Apex is coming so I got a few days of programing that.

trying to mock up some dosing container will waiting on my doser 4x6x12 inches. It ruffly works out to 3 liters I believe. Mean while my Apex programming has been haulted too I forgot to order a second energy bar with it the first time.

Nice looking.

I built my first real acrylic project a while back - a top off reservoir. I love working with that stuff now.

Yea before tackling this tank I never really messed with it always glass. But it's definitely easier to work with.

easy as pie all glued up just gotta make a lid and it's ready for fluids.

Glad to see this moving along. So many headaches along the way.

You making wine too?

I've dabbled a few times in the home brewed area.

I've been trying to work on my controller board all week finally getting some time. Got a spot for the doser and containers set up now just for the power bar ato head unit uv box and pump controller. I think it'll all fit nicely.

Wow- youre not fooling around with this. I am a drop off tank owner and never even thought about such a concept.
NICE WORK !!

Gonna be an awesome set up for sure! Will look great! Our tank is 30" deep so hope ya got really long arms for that 34.5" lol I did a computer desk project one time (to match a TV stand I had) and found plastic tube plugs either maybe Mcmaster Carr or Granger. Good luck on the build and keepm us updated...

took alittle break from organizing cord spaghetti to start hooking up the remote fuge. I Just need to finish programming the doser. I have the ml set up I just need to figure out how to space the doses out between parts. Most the these parts are new to me so every days a learning experience.
