I played with the overflow plumbing some last night. It’s all mocked up. I will mark it all and glue it tonight. Also got a sneak peek the stand cover! I’m really liking it!
All in one is great. However like I said I just can’t justify the purchase to the wife after the last month of purchases. I still have stuff I need to get the tank wet. Gotta pick my battles wisely!
Lol thanks. I will give you a month or two to get stocked up!
I don’t think it’s in the cards right now. I would love to have one and Jen has a great price on hers. This will prolly be the route I go. Thinking RB XHO would a good add on.
Last night I got the tank pulled down off the stand with the help of a few friends. I finished the up installing the bulkheads and got three unions installed for the drains.
We then added the large slab of granite under the tank! Lots of heavy lifting!
I also got the skimmer mocked up. It fits nicely! Hope it’s big enough. I think it may be a little underrated for my total water volume. I can always upgraded down the road if needed.
Thanks Ty! I will be looking for that card! Lol
The ATI is a 4ft. If I remember correctly Jen is selling 2 36” fixtures. My tank is only 60”. I don’t believe one will cover to my liking and 2 will be too much.
the tank has a black pvc bottom. I wanted to go bare bottom. However the wife wants sand. Happy wife happy life!
I picked up some oceans direct original grade from BRS on the Black Friday sale.
I will be watching this closely. Are tanks are very similar. Mine is 60x30x22 I’m curious as to how you scape it. I just can’t get mine where I want it....
Hello all! I’ve been out of the game for a while. This will be my fourth reef tank. The last tank was in 2008. I’ve been trying to catch up on all the new stuff...

Thanks Dustin! That's exciting to start a new tank! When its ready, I'd be happy to have you by for frags.
I guess I’m kind of a copy cat! I just went back to the beginning of your thread and that red stand looks very familiar... lol
