My Half in, half out of wall 330 starfire build.

Few more pictures too.
Only progress I have made so far is second mudding and painting the drywall above the tank.
FYI, even white paint makes a bad mud job look worse... Thank go it's not visible to anyone.

I do have a few supplies for when I start the tank up.

A small skimmer. Salt bucket for scale (I do not use that salt ever, it's just a bucket)

Vertex Alpha 300

Also got the motorized cleaning lid. No idea how it works yet, but excited.


Also two media reactors, the RX-U 2.0

Not sure where to put these yet.

A little bit of salt, and 360lbs of sand.

I have 1.5 more boxes in the fish room too.....


I had a hard time finding reefers best a few months ago, so split a large shipment with someone else. I'd probably buy more if I could find it. It doesn't go bad, lol.

Whats your address.. you don't need that stuff I will come pick it up for you and haul it away free of charge... It would look better in my basement anyways...


Ps... Does your back hurt?

That is a lot of salt but that's also a lot of sand Going deep?

lift with your legs, not your back.
I had it all sitting just inside the door until like 20 minutes before company was coming over, so had to rush it down the stairs, it was a lot of work. lol

240 lbs of it are for a 2" cover in the tank. The rest is for a remote deep sand bed. I have more sand in the garage for the remote deep sand bed too.

I won't be running any additives. I'll have a calcium reactor once I have enough sps to require it.

If you have extra sands left over I can buy it of you.

So working on my plumbing here before I start to fill it.
And I can't figure out how to plumb the media reactors in, more where to put them without the lines being really long.
The reeflo hammerhead return pump to the tank will go up just to the right of the overflow. I'm planning to T off to a bulkhead of sorts to feed everything else. but no idea how to do this.
I'm also not sure where to put my remote deep sand bed now either. It was going to go under the tank just left of the center though.
