Thanks. Yeah really digging the dimensions. This is my first 8' tank and it is really phenomenal. So much real estate.

Thanks appreciate it. I've been planning this build for a long time and it's awesome to see it coming to life. I took it really slow and did a lot of the planning upfront.

Those tank dimensions are sick. I owned a 180 gallon (72x24x24) cichlid tank and loved all the space. I also like how you setup all your electricals. Nice planning and I can't wait to see how this tank looks in 6-12 months.

If you ever want to send that beautiful Jawbreaker mushroom back to the Bay Area, let me know. I have a tank full of her cousins waiting to for a reunion.

Any update Gene. How's the LFS in Seattle? Let me know if you see some nice SPS, I have a grow out tank now for a bunch of SPS, will be starting a new 210 once these babies start to out grow this tank.

I'm thinking about doing a big sps order mid month to get into qt. I'll let you know what I end up doing.

Been pretty slow going but added a couple things since my last update. Equipment wise I added a reef link and also and apex auto feeder. Not sure how I like either yet but so far the reef link seems pretty nice and the auto feeder is convenient but hard to dial in and I end up with a lot of pellets just going down the overflow. As for the livestock I added another bunch of coral, primarily znp’s, from qt. Started organizing the frags around the tank and glued pieces here and there. Almost ready to do a big sps order to start getting them quarantined. I also added a trio of moorish idols on Jan. 23rd. Lost one the first night but the other two are doing pretty well so far. They are eating everything I put in the tank and are actually pretty aggressive eaters. Been feeding a ton to fatten them up so hopefully the pair will make it long term. Need to get my next set of fish, anthias and wrasses into qt as well so I can get them in the tank in a couple weeks. Anyways heres some updated shots of the tank/coral.
