Grizz's 8' - 300 gal + 60 gal + 30 gal OMG Build!!
Alright boys & girls here we go again........FINALLY!!
I have been trying to get this build going for well over a yr now & have been thinking / planning almost everyday. This is the concept drawing that I mocked up many many many months ago & doesn't include the 60 gal cube or the 30 gal cube.

First step was to replace the laminate floor where the new tank is going to be.
Then came the building of the main stand & the 2 towers. Main stand painted and into the house.

Question. What do you plan to have in 30&60g tanks. Species specific or different types of fish or coral?

Have you ever noticed that a hug is a sort of closed loop of arms? (.. I'm just saying...)
In all seriousness I'm not a huge fan of closed loops either, Grizz. Carry on, and have fun with da build...
