yeah...but can we camp out in front of it for a few days? ;D

 

[MikeNapoli]

That tank is amazing! When your kid gets a little older she could probably skuba dive in there... hell, you could probably skuba dive in there.

Can we get a fish list? It would probably take a while.

 

[Baxreefs]

Wow! What a great build! I can't believe I haven't seen this before (busy summer I guess). Very nice work and planning, that chiller is a beautiful thing!! 8)

Billy -

do you still have that 210g for sale? I saw a guy on this thread:

http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1212887 talk about having his eye on a 210g with stand/canopy for $1500. Maybe you could convince him to get yours instead...

See you tomorrow. Around dinner time.

Keep us updated on the clam. I had 6 clams doing great in my prop system. Took them from 1" to about 4" before I moved them into the reef. Within 3 or 4 days all were empty. Somebody in my tank had a few good clam dinners.

PS hope your fish hate clams!

ok well not much updated on here for the last 3 months or so, since i was fighting algae over and over again...

well i recently removed all corals and cleaned the tank this past week. I just turned the lights on yesterday and to see all algae gone, it might be too early. But it is a nice relief to see and makes me feel good to have a 450g tank in the house!!

here are some shots:

[mikem]

[billyr98]

Looking good Billy. Glad to see you back around.

thanks Matt!!

hopefully it stays away, i know its early, but i just have this GUT feeling!

 

[JohnS_323]

That's great to see, Billy. I can only imagine how furstrating that algae problem must have been. Hopefully you kicked out for good.

Looks GREAT, Billy. I've got my fingers, toes, arms, legs... crossed for ya.
