To do or not to do........or should I say to start or not start my 300 gal tank journal...........as it will be a bit of a long build to completely finished.

Might not be anything to update weekly though. I don't like a tank journey that starts with lots of stuff then goes dry with mindless post if you get my drift.

Progress photos at minimum. Build threads are nice to go through but some threads almost look like they consume as much time preparing and updating as the build its self.

Very true jorjef, it's a very complex build with 3 displays, 2 sumps, 4 piece stand, WC system & so much more.

What the hell I think I will kick off a journal tomorrow evening.
