(First Reef Tank Ever) **** 600gal Display **** 1300gal System

SuperScro, thanks

cuttingras, i am self employed and plenty of time surfing internet. wow i always taught it was the other way around getting the wife to participate. feel free to pm me if for any questions or helped if needed and i will try my best to help you out.

Pisces23, yes imagine picking up a 90 lbs pc and bringing it up to top. the pool is approx. 7' deep, this was a trip not to forget...;D

 

here are some more pic's, tank is still cloudy. i'm still about a week out on filling the rest of the tanks. sump and skimmer is next in line to fill then QT, fuge and last fuge.
this is not the final setting and few pc's around will be moved around but time will tell.

total of 7 caves, these rocks are truly amazing with ton of shapes, sizes, character and less density than many other.

Gorgeous rock dude...

Having a supportive wife is a great advantage to those of us cursed with this passion.

You are making a lifetime investment, so well worth whatever you are putting into it.

Hope you are never planning on moving.

Thanks again for the pics and sharing!

 

thanks, this is poor investment and will never get even half of the money and time spent on putting this entire system together which took roughly 3 months. the only investment i intend on getting back is the fun i have putting everything together and watching all my livestock mature. thanks again

no plans on moving just yet, since i been at my new home only 8 months now.

 

here are some more updates, and the tank is more clear now. i should have enough water by monday night to get skimmer and reactor online. all the outlet for CL is covered and few more pc's has been arrange around to make it look more realistic, but this will not be the final stacks as coral will be introduced.

Looking good. Glad you're taking your time to do it right!

 

Rockwork looks awsome! I can't wait to see it all together! Omard...I've gotten to be an expert at moving, though only with a 55gal. I've moved so many times, lastly(May 31, 2006) being Kissimmee, FL to here in Louisville, GA. It's an 8 hour drive! Only lost my beloved CrabbieI. Had been in my tank since the beginning and he was quite the character! CrabbieII doesn't have much of a personality, but he does his job well. GAWD...I'm pathetic.......

 

That is looking Aw some!!! I am Jealous.

 

ok finally enough water is made to get sump, 1st fuge, skimmer and return online.
here are some more pic's, and i still cant believed the character in these Haitian Rocks.
