Witty's Monster 210 Experiment

they say every journey begins with a single step. today i took the giant leap for reefkind and purchased an AGA 210g reefready tank with cherry stand. the canopy im going to get custom made my a fellow reefer on this board to fit my needs. i also plan on installing an Ocean Motion 8way with tri-directional revolutions. this has been a dream for some time now, and am still a bit amazed that im actually starting to see it to fruition.

cross your fingers and hope for the best!!

more to follow soon~~~

Congratulations wit, I hope everything goes well for you setting it up. I am kind of interested in your plans for the oceanmotions 8 way system as I am planning to add one to my 210, any thoughts on this size of the pump and the size of your PVC piping?
