wow, looks like you have put some thought into the plumbing. I want to read the book you wrote. do you have a diagram that explains the why, how and what you did in the fish room?

Here's the stand in place, thanks to Grizz!





I didn't want a center post or bottom rail as this way I can easily add the fridges and rack below.

Picked up the new return pumps. These seem to be what all the cool kids are talking about these days do I guess we'll see.





Hoping to pick up the new overflow box tomorrow.

Tank Specs:

62" x 32" x 32"
Will hold approximately one cubic meter of water
Low Iron Front
Fully Polished (not that you'll notice )
External overflow



It will tie into the existing fish room conveniently located right next to the tank.

Apparently! I just looked at your old tank journal, not sure how I missed that before.

Cool I like the idea for the new tank, I think it will look great in there.

A little more progress, I lowered the sumps a little and got pretty much everything the way I want it now.



Frag racks


Three of them in place, 381 frag capacity


Lower sump, the zeovit reactor has it's own chamber so I can dose the zeoback and such so it's forced to the enter the reactor before anything else. Refugium back left, kalk reactor front left.


Most the electrical is a cabinet, Ca reactor mounted in the side. I just remembered were I left my beer from last night.
