Hey Diesel! Glad you decided to join ARC! Good seeing you on here and I'll make sure to derail your thread on here when I get a chance. [emoji12]

Great looking setup with the IM and the former tank setup was crazy awesome looking! [emoji106]

Excellent start!  Glad you got to bring some of your old corals along. I love that Walt Disney!

Thanks.  I really need to ship over my other high end pieces left in FL.  Two favorites over there still are SC Orange Passion and JFox Beach Bum....

Gonna need some luck next month as I will be moving this into my new house....thankfully its only 20 gallons of water to move LOL

So, after breaking down my SPS 125g in South Florida and moving to Central Texas, I have decided to setup a IM 25 Lagoon until I settle in a little more permanently. 

Here is a pic of the old setup in FL if you want to see more of the build, take a look http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2558111 

Okay, so onto the tank: 

IM Nuvo Fusion 25 Lagoon
Evergrow d120 LED (custom layout with warm whites, royals, violets) 
Jabao PP4
Fully controlled with a GHL Profilux and Doser 
DIY Stand and Light Hanger
1 liter Siporax Media 
Running Skimmerless 

I first decided to build a ADA style stand and painted it white

Realized I wasnt feeling the all white stand so I added some barnwood shiplap to add some character and I am much happier with how it turned out. 

I love the open concept negative space on these shallow reefs and thats how I went  

Top down to get more of an idea of the layout 

Wet and cycling 

Took a trip to Florida and over the holidays grabbed some frags that were in my 125 before at a friends. Thankfully they made the drive. 

Here is a video from about a month ago

Well. Since my son was born this month I got some time off from work. Proud and thrilled to have made the time to make a substantial upgrade to the gym. Carried off the old wobbly rusted and corroded squat rack with one arm down to the curb, and replaced it with a nice new 4 post rack, and made a simple but clean and functional deadlift platform for it as well. Hit the weights today for the first time in a month. Numbers have fallen a bit, bit with Improved (and safer) gear, I'll get them back up in a couple weeks
