I thoroughly enjoyed your videos, you have a great speaking voice. That stand looks really clean and square, one thing that you would've struggled with if you were working with wood.
Can't wait to see the sump.

Hey thanks for the best wishes! I’m glad your enjoying the videos. Alright tanks gonna be here early tomorrow morning. Time to get this stand in the house. That was easy enough with a dolly and some engineering magic. If I don’t like how that ceiling fan looks I’m going to replace it with a smaller one or maybe even a nice modern chandelier. I’m still undecided if I will build a canopy for this tank but given the amount of lights I plan to use I think a canopy would look nicer and neater. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well its here! The full video of the delivery and lift will be uploaded tonight and a link dropped here. I'm editing it now. Everything went well! My LFS Did an AMAZING job of getting the tank off the truck and into the house! Fantastic display of professionalism and skill from fellow hobbyists!

Decided against full hard plumbing due to some tight turns and constraints. Flex PVC to the rescue!

I’m going to be using a combination of RadionG4 and 80w T5 Retros. In the mean time... Plumbing is coming along great! My biggest challenges so far is getting nice tight turns and twists. It’s one of those challenges with center mount overflows. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Gorgeous! I know the feeling about multiple trips to Lowes. There were days that 6 trips were the norm. To the point where now a days the employees ask, "where have you been?" on my occasional once a week visit.
Perhaps in a future video, can you explain the overflow that you have?

Great video as usual. I am glad to see I am not the only who has to change plans in the middle of a aquarium project. Everything looks good.

Went ahead and added another level to my monitoring setup of the new tank! A WIFI Camera to monitor my tank and sump area.

So I’ve been struggling with a weird bacteria outbreak in my new display keeping the water extra cloudy. I think it’s because I used some pumps from my existing display and didn’t really wash them off before adding to my display to make salt water. I went ahead and added my UV sterilizer Jerry-rigged and inside of 48 hours the tank was crystal clear.
Now I can start my rock scape and water exchange from the old tank to the new tank. I also picked up 2 Icecap 3k gyres and am running them at 100% to break them in. They have quieted down immensely. I’m pretty impressed by the icecap 3k. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
