It is kinda large but unfortunately just some of the tips are thriving after the couple issues Ive had over the last year.




Just after I posted the end shot pic I took a look to see when my last post was....10 months....wow.

In that time I have had a couple issues, the auto top off going crazy and flooding the house and killing most of my sps colonies being the big one. So that's the big reason why I haven't posted much, who wants to post pics of that.

I've had a couple other life altering things happen to me in that time including the birth of our Daughter Mackenzie two weeks ago.

So anyway I'll see if I can muster up the courage to post pics of the carnage...it makes me sad.

I just plan the upgrade and that makes me feel better.

upgrade already? to what size?

your tank is one of my top 3 faves on here, next to superfudge's tank and untamed's tank. i love the giant nem and the Macro algae and the caps.

also your dive pics are the best

It has been 4 years so I think I'm overdue for a upgrade , it will be a 180 or 220 most likely.

Well over the last few months I have been moving my sump and all the equipment out to the garage to a sump cabinet (I guess you would call it).


Display cabinet now, get'n ready for the upgrade.




The sump cabinet in the garage with lots still to finish.



Top left is my 50g water change tank.

To the right of that is my 50g refugium.

Top right is my 20g hospital/quarantine tank.

The frag tank will go middle left, you can see the 250w Aqua medic pendent.

The middle center has my GAC/GFO reactor & will have my RO/DI.

The middle right is my Manifold and control panel.

Bottom left is the 85g sump.

Each tank can be isolated with valves if needed.

I estimate that after the frag tank is up and running it will be just over 300g for the whole system

+1 I've always been super jealous that this tank is so tidy and organized AND the tank itself looks fantastic.
