My new water box
 

Well I guess I should start a new build/move/upgrade thread. Upgrading from a 120g to a 168g 48"w x 30"d x 27"h. It has a 40g sump and a 20g ATO tank, ER180 3L zeo reactor, 1L carbon reactor, mag18 return, 2x vortech MP40W, 2x K4, 1 K3, external overflow with 2 x 1-1/2" drain lines, euro braced, black silicone, 2 x 1" return holes drilled in the top side's, black acrylic back. I estimate the true volume to be about 150g.

So far I have 2 casualties, my purple milli, thats due to the fact that my nem sat on it all night and stung the crap out of it...... 1 scooter blenny, and that is due to the fact he buried himself in the sand and he was MIA during the move and i found him when i took the garden hose to the old tank to clean it up. I still have to do some minor stuff, trim, fan grills, and more pics as my camera died. The corals have been placed from the big mass on the right side. I will get some close ups some time this week. So anyway here is some pics of the new tank

Stand, double 2x6 around the top, 3 2x4 for each leg, 3/4" ply top and bottom.

Oh, and thanks Red Coral for the glass and all the help.

Sweeeeeeeeeet man....that didnt take long...you been going hard on it or what?

Looks good Scott :biggrin:

Well i started the stand about a month ago. Tank got here last week...??? Filled her up this week, took about 4 days just to get it circulating and i brought over about 100g from the old tank. Treated my LR while i had it out, because of the flat worm epidemic here in cowtown. Pitched most of the water that i made all week and the bucket of salt that was in it :neutral:.

Thanks!! Sorry i never pm'd you about the sand but i figured whats another $100 on sand when your this far in :lol:

No biggie man. I even forgot about the sand :lol:

Looks awesome. That blue carpet is huge.

Scott that is :mrgreen:AWESOME!!:mrgreen:, Congrats on the new setup!!! Keep the pics coming. I love the rock work!!!!! Dam man now I think I have to go bigger........B@ST@RD!!

Thanks Lawrence, it doesn't look it but the rock work is really open underneath and i tried to keep it open at the top or my tangs once they get bigger and the coral starts to take off. I guess you will just have to keep up with the jones's :biggrin: once you get the seahorse operation/frag tank going you will have a pretty sweet set up going. BTW how IS that coming along?

Tyson, its not even fully expanded in that pic, its close to 16" when its fully out :lol:

I will have some close ups up this weekend as i will have my buddies camera at my disposal, and it takes sweet pics.
