Also added 6.5 bags of salt and a few heaters to get it up to the right temp

My instagram account is @wildaquatics23! Feel free to follow me on there too as I post a ton of photos/videos of my build. I'm really enjoying the project so far and can't thank everyone enough who follows it and is interested by it. Thanks so much!

I've been looking around threads to find pics/designs for an aluminum light rack. I have 3 orphek atlantiks and thinking of supplementing with a couple t5 attinic/blues on the front and back.
If you have pics of yours or know any good examples please share! |

Lots of exposed wood in the fishroom. Really should be painted/sealed before the humidity gets much higher in there.

I like the rock work. I can see where the project is going, and I really like what I imagine the overall look will be. I agree with dave.m you want to make sure that you do it right with a set up like this. Painting the exposed wood will help prevent future issues.

The tank is gorgeous. I love the sand space. I'm a fan of tonga branch mixed I the rock. It gives life to swimming space as well as space for sps corals up top or at the bottom to middle mushrooms or zoas. It doesn't take up sand space.

I was looking at the stand, wall studs and plywood. If you're saying they're all sealed with polyurethane then obviously it's no problem.

I REALLY like the rock work. This will be a great build to follow. Where is the skimmer going to be placed?? Between sump and display stand?

your measurements of 75x30x24 come out to 233 gallons, not 300. do you mean 300 total water volume?

Hey i really dig the rockwork.. One thing to consider though is the 5:3 ratio of the 2 islands placement and size
