Happy Bday! The big 40. Glad to see you taking that number in stride. Most woman hate that number.

Happy 40th Birthday to me! The tank is in the house, but with all the celebrations of my b-day, I haven't worked on plumbing it. Plus, we have house guests coming to stay with us on Wednesday! It feels like I'm never going to get this done.

My folks bought me the new Maxspect Gyre F150 for the new tank! Woot!

May the 4th be with you!

i'm really loving the gyre reviews and vids... could you please post how you are liking it?

As soon as I have it in a tank with water, I'll let you know!

No water yet ????? [emoji14]oke:

I know. [emoji26] We've got so much going on, I don't know when I'm going to plumb this thing. @Hutch's family is flying in tomorrow and I have to clean the house tonight.

It'll be there. . Get to it when you have time, too big a project to force in.

We are all just excited for you.

Late Happy Birthday!

I've been traveling a lot and missed this post earlier.

Added the plumbing, sump, powerheads and main pump. Next step will be aquascaping, sand and water.

Im looking forward to seeing this tank running. Is this the first Reefer 450 on the site?

Possibly. We're going to start designing the rockscape hopefully this weekend.

Hi Mayja
Wish I could have fitted the 450 in! I'm a size down on reefer and gyre but a couple of months in now and loving it. Looking forward to the pics as you get it up and running....

 

[Mayja]

I think we have our aquascape.

Great idea to do it on cardboard Mayja, then you know it will fit perfectly in that monster

A little different in the tank, but still kept the tunnels.

Thanks! We also measured out the dimensions and marked the board with tape so we made sure to have room on all sides of the glass for cleaning.

Water and shrimp added. We're officially cycling!

Woohoo looks so good Mayja!
