I wish I have room for a tank like yours. Once the tank gets filled with all your favorite corals and fish this tank will look awesome!

Wish I had the space, time, energy & $$ to upgrade mine to a 300g display but that's just not in the works.

Looking forward for updates in the future.

Thanks Anthony, it doesn't cost as much it seem if you spread it over a couple yrs to build like I did. As for the "PATIENCE" thing, I have none and have a few things on the way for the tank today.

So now I have the 165 dismantled I was able to get the chiller all cleaned up. Built the manifold off the middle pump on the right end of the sump to feed the chiller & 3 reactors. I don't like the look of the vinyl hose but it will have to do for now until I get something better figured out.



Chiller & 2 out of 3 reactors running, GFO & Carbon.

Generally you can have Frogspawn, Hammer, and Torch touching as they are all the same family.

I have a bunch in one spot in my tank and they all touch, but I do notice that my Torch occasionally causes issues with the others.

They are actually one piece, they grew together. I have had Hammers/Frog/Octospawns in big bunches before without issue.
