Nuggs' 150G Mixed Reef Build
Well thanks to my buddy Jay we were able to get the tank in today (Jay may be crippled).
48" x 24" x 30" Its not where its actually going to end up, need to play with the plumbing a bit yet, and possible build a canopy. |

Good day and a bad day:
New skimmer arrived. BM Curve 9 First impressions Holy #$%^ that thing is big. (Hat added for size comparison) Picked up the paint for the stand and back glass today, then started working on the plumbing. 2 hours later, Drain bulkhead removed, still working on the return bulkhead. It was installed backwards, and then about 1/2 lb of calking put over it. I may cut a hacksaw blade in half and saw the thing off. |

BAH!
Finally got the damn things off! Looks like they're drilled 1/3/4" so I need 1" bulkheads. |

You'll be happy with the skimmer, I have the curve 7 and it's a beast. That tank is crazy tall tho, interested in seeing your aquascape

Yep its gonna be tough to get the scape I want. I'm either going to have to use dowels drilled through the rock, or epoxy it all. |

Well the back of the tank is painted, sump is built and everything is plumbed in.
Leak test and a run in period with FW is done (just to test the flow and tune everything). All thats left is to build a light mount and paint the stand. Might be moving everything in tomorrow. |
