That really looks great. You did a nice job of cleaning it up and putting together a very neat looking system. I too am looking forward to following your progress. Keep the pics coming!

Good Luck!!

If I am following this correctly you sure got a lot done fast! Good work!

you also cleaned that up nice! Looks like a new tank.

I had a 5 day weekend, that helped alot. I also ran 2 dedicated 20 amp lines for this system. Filling it with RO/DI water seems to be taking longer than any of the other projects.

wow looks fantastic. I wish I could have gotten a 210/180 sized tank...but my budget and (better half) thought it might be too much of a jump for me.

Keep us posted. I'm probably going to be tagging along since I need as many tips as possible when I finally upgrade my tank.

Picked up a 150 lbs LR from a feelow reefer breaking down his tank. Then added the 100 lbs I had in my 65, plus all new sand. Then transfered the fish and corals. The rock I picked up was loaded with shrooms and zoos and kenya trees.
