Default Marc`s 1k gallon system.

Alright, as i can find some of the pics from close to 2 yrs ago i will try to piece together here my system build from the start.

Please bear with me, it will take some time to get to the present, ill try to speed it up by copy and pasting and re-hosting pics of some of it from somewhere else.

That way Christy and Tony stop yellin at me :P.

It all started with some wood and screws.....lol.

(digging for photo`s...)

Thanks Kris,

Colin, thats a good idea...i probably could get it all fired up and cycled before this one CD of 1700 pic`s finishes downloading on to my PC....theres 2 CD`s.

Omg...i suck on computers.

K...These are the original walls, and the drywall torn off to see what was in store for framing and electrical.





This whole wall needed to be torn out and door moved over a few feet...







Then, unfinished framing and cut outs....





Damn, you guys may see a potential fish room... i see severe trauma by electrocution, excessive finger crushing, blood loss, fiberglass rash, dust inhalation....

More soon....

About the wait, please bear with me grim...Just until i can sift through some of these 2500 pics on CD, determine what was built when, find the best pics of that portion of the build,send em to my pc, edit them, upload them to photobucket, copy them over to here and type something for you.

lol, i wish i could say that they were all from 2 years ago, i guess i should say heres 2 years of building for you.

It wasnt a normal system build, most of us just bought the tank, reactor, sump, skimmer and canopy.. took me a bit longer.

More pics soon....

Hi Marc,
I live in the UK and just come a cross your tank on RC and followed it here.
Joined this forum after reading this thread from start to now, to say a couple of things.....

1. your tank is off the chart m8 totally stunning.
2. you are a DIY legend.
3. if my tank is a 10th as good as your I'll be well happy.

thanks for a great read

Talking

i just wanted to ask did everything go silky smooth with your tank when you built and cycled it and stuff? you already are a legend but if you got this huge tank tamed without issue you must be a fish whisperer hahahahaha. because im pretty sure most of us know that if something can go wrong with a reef it has a nasty habit of doing so hahha in my case anyway. and your tank and setup is amazing
