Nice job on the stand
Looking forward to the rest

We all knew you couldn't stick with a tank you could lift when full by yourself

Well I have the sump but no room to setup the damn thing lol. The 404 and its sump are hogging up a great deal of my basement! Return pump and skimmer are back ordered so yell at Denny if you want lol.

Aha there's a method to the madness maybe? I'm glad someone thinks so. My condition baffles me more than anyone trust me

Good to see you are going to be back on the SPS bandwagon shortly. Nice job on the stand. You always seem to be able to pull off very modern and elegant looking stands but I guess you've had some serious practice by now!

Love the stand and the dimensions of the tank, cubes rock!

Can we start a pool for when it will be shutdown? Or is it too soon to make jokes like that?

Er, I mean, nice new tank, and stuff! Enjoy the ride..



(PS. I call June/July BTW ........ (too soon?) )

Thx guys. I can do stands with my eyes closed. If you saw some of the joints and how much wood filler they ate you might think I *do* build them that way!

Tony it's never too soon additionally, shut the frag up lol. My back is on fire. Spent all day cutting rocks for the back wall %#*^!

Before I mounted my rock background I attached these anchors underneath my overflow box. These will stabilize the rock work which is going to cantilever out a fair bit I think. They're large enough to fish a few long zip ties through them. An additional anchor will likely be place at the foot of the rock tower to keep the bottom from sliding around.



Cory (i have crabs) was generous enough to lend me his chop saw with masonry blade. I spent a few hours frolicking about in a white cloud of pulverized reef rock on my front steps. The method I used to attach the rocks was silicone-putty-silicone. I have tried prying off one of the pieces and can't even wiggle it. Now that I have the tank flipped off it's back I can go in and identify which gaps can be seen at normal viewing angles and fill them in better.

Bonus points to anyone that can tell me where my mp10s are going to go =)











A little bit of insurance until I have sand in.
