Amazing what a call to the builder will do! That was the backup plan since the tank wouldn't fit down the stairs to the basement even after some modifying of things. Boogie, the tank is 7ftx6ftx2ft. SPotter and Peter yes it's finally happening after sitting empty and laughing at me for the past year things are moving in the right direction.

Not much to update since the last time. Drywall is up and they are finishing mudding this week. After they finish sanding I will plumb the tank and get some water in it and get the tank cycling

Everyone working on the house has something to say about the tank... Mainly how big it is, I just keep telling them (and my wife) it's not that big

I'm looking forward to following this build. Do you have any livestock yet? Is the bandit angel in your profile pic yours?

3" clown soapfish I have had for a year and a melanarus and zebra eel I have had for 3 years now are the only stock I have. The bandit in the picture isn't mine. Lost mine with my male crosshatch due to velvet. Not been a good month needless to say. So the Stocklist is wide open. Really want it to be a mostly angel and butterfly tank, with a few tangs and other misc fish

No. I suspect velvet but am not 100% with the timeline it fits though. Ate the night before then laying on their sides breathing heavy... Dead before lights off. Never seen any fish survive after laying on it's side. I did 100% water changes in between with no help. All started with a misbar regal that came in. That was the first to die 3-4 days after arrival. The tank had a low level of CP in it but not the full dose because I had done a 50g water change on a 150g total QT system.
