it took me about 3 days to get all the water needed via 75gpd RO/DI unit but here are some pics of the tank with water, lights on, canopy on:

now here is the pic of the present lights - i am still waiting for the LED lights to come in so I decided to use my current MH

the picture of the canopy still in the garage:

and than time came in to move the beast to the basement. 4 suction cups, 4 guys and a lot of praying. after the move: without the canopy but the rocks inside:

I spent few weeks working with Marc from Marco Rocks to get what I was looking for and he went out of his way to deliver it. The 6 rocks came in 3 boxes, packed as you would never believe. not ONE single chip on them in transportation. I was so impressed that there is no words for it. so after...

I used appliance epoxy and primer to paint inside of the canopy.

well, I am no carpenter so I had to ask for a favor and Chris came in with some help. it took him about two days to do his magic. We went together to Home Depot and he made some suggestions as far as what I needed based on my vision :-) He agreed to do it but left painting to me. I dont have any...

here it is the pic of the pvc pipes that go from the tank to the 'fish room' next door that wife "allowed" to use it :-) in that space used to be 72g bowfront a few months ago.

I decided to close the closed loop and dedicated the middle line out of the 3 for the return. and yes, I needed like 15 bulkheads to accomplish everything. I am still not done with the durso pipe since regular size pvc pipes will not fit in the overflow box. simply too small.

here is the pic of the tank before the move: and one more:

I am trying to document more of my build than I have in the past. My old tank which was a 72g bow front that was great but… I wanted something bigger and nicer. As a result I started looking for something that would suit my personal taste, my fish and corals better. Than on NJ Craigslist site in...

I have done more 5-6 times, and finally decided to end this misery and bought 35 gallon barrel. even if I forget to turn it off, i have about 10 hrs to correct my mistake. it has helped me to avoid 2 accidents in the last month or so. but would love to make this more controllable.

coralvue 250 W - the lamps were not used for 3-4 months prior firing them up last night.

the plumbing was the biggest problem. it was impossible to go with PVC hard pipes and make it work, but after a few of trial and error - i got it. The water, bed substrate, dead live rock = all in the tank, lights technically are working although I am debating on selling them and getting LED -...

thats was my guess too. the group buy in is around the corner. Terri - I finally finished putting the tank together. 2 months of work paid off.

my MH bulb doesn't always fire up. what is the issue = ballast or the bulb? bulbs are about 8 months old.
