Progress is looking good. Where did you get the nylon hose clamp?

Thanks. Can't wait to fire it up.
I got the hose clamps at Gold Aquarium.They're called gator clamps.I've gotten smaller 1's at Pisces as well.

Looks good. Any idea on what you want to stock it with?

I have an Ebili angel,royal gramma and a perc that are waiting for their new home.I'm upgrading from a 36 gal.
Also have about 50 or so pounds of rock that will be swapped over.I'll be looking for another 30 pds of rock in the near future.As far as other fish...I'm not really sure yet.. Any idea's out there?

Is that a Hagen 77 gal? If so did you drill the bottom and add the overflow yourself? Reason I ask is because I have a Hagen 77 purchased used, no brace in the top trim. Not drilled and it will likely become a sump/fuge for a future build. According to Hagen FAQ page on their tanks, none of the glass is tempered, so all drillable.

Nope..I had it made.I had a hagen tank,but for what it was going to cost to drill it and get the OF done, I figured I'd spend the extra cash and get a whole new tank made to my specs.

It's 49" L x 16 1/2" W x 22" H

I do believe the hagen tanks can be drilled though, but don't quote me on that.

i clicked this thread thinking you had an amazing Jack and 7-UP story... guess a nice reef tank build is a close second
