I've been browsing this thread all morning, great job! I love reading builds like this.
I agree we need more pics.lol
Keep up the awesomeness!

Thanks I will try and get some pics posted , as you can see I have had my ups and downs during the build but I think its always a learning curve and we never stop learning about this hobby ,,, I appreciate your comment,,,,

Yes you sure have had some moments that would have scared me to death and made me panic, lol.
Yes I will do a lot of things different next time, and like you I hope to plan ahead next time. I'm kinda at the point in my life that I'm not sure if I'm going to be moving again so I don't really want to do a bunch of stuff now but wait until I figure out where I'm going.
Thanks for all the details, I'm sure many of us have been inspired by your build!

Sorry for the delay in commenting I forget i have tank build still going LOL ,,, I hope anyone that has read my tank build has seen some things NOT to do and maybe some things I did that will help in their efforts ,,my build continues i have now added a Koralia Magnum 8 pump and adding one more next week, that should prove to be plenty of flow in my tank ,,

Nice! How do the SPS do with the AI Sols? Good growth?

Also, how do you like the oceans motion? I've been looking at a tank upgrade and would love to do a closed loop.

Nice pics, you have some beautiful coral colonies coming along.

The Sps are doing great under the AIs its been10 months now and steady growth,,, I like the ocean motion it does a good job ,, quite a bit of plumbing involved but I guess that would be the case on any type of closed loop....

Thank you very much ,, i have basicaly started with all small frags , from frag swaps,,

 

[yankieman]

my pic taking is not that good ,,,,,

 

[Oxylebius]

It's about time for some new pics!!!

 

[yankieman]

It has been awhile ,, the old tank crashed twice and was totally replaced by a brand new glass tank in May this year which is coming along nicely,,

 

[Oxylebius]

Sorry to hear about the tank crashes. Glad you have a new tank up and running!
