New 150DD Build
 
I have been running my 210 for about year and half, and neglected for half the time. Needless to say, tank need a restart. And what's better than restarting the tank?? Do a complete new build!!

Certain local RICH reefer has done a great job with his 300DD, so I want to try to see if I can make mine look like his. However due to space issue, I have settle for half the size. Therefore I am putting together a 1/2 300DD tank aka 150DD.

Then my little girl build the stand for me.
