Default Russell's 5'x3'x2' 225gal in-wall

This build actually started in March of this year and is located in another thread elsewhere on this site which I suppose I might abandon now because of the redundancy. Since 2006 I've had a 120gal and stayed at that size because of space and financial constraints. In 2013 we moved out of our former rental and into our first home so I guess I should say that this build started in January 2014 when I framed the equipment room. The 120gal was 4'x2'x2' but I framed the wall for a 5'x3'x2' tank and then blocked in the excess space.







This spring the time felt right so I submitted my ideas to Concept and this is what they proposed for me. Eurobraced, 2' external overflow box drilled for a Herbie but with upgrade potential in case I want a Beananimal at a later date. The front and sides would be Starphire glass.

I thought my Achilles tang is the only one that nips at my sps but I guess it must be all the Acanthurus family.

Tank and setup is great man, I would love to have a fish room. One day when the kids move out of the house....one day.

Curious - how big is that brain coral in right back ? Looks awesome, I just picked up a small piece quite similar .
The Platygyra is about 8" in diameter.

Your behind the scenes is awesome. Nice setup for sure and it looks like your tank is going to grow out really nice.
