    that sure is a lot of water! i'd hate to see that tank get a crack. But seriously, this tank is going to look amazing this time next year with all of the fish and corals

    GTS has 5 out of the 4 bases covered on this build ;) This is about as perfect as you can get with this scale of a build.

    Looks great, can't wait to see it full and not cloudy :)

    Dang, your saltwater vat is bigger than my house's hot water heater! I like that idea, especially since I spilled RO water on my carpet yesterday when I wasn't watching it!

    Cloudy water but full to the top (just below the overflows). I should have another 200 gal ready by Monday afternoon.



    =Jwin= your new avatar is pretty disturbing ;)

    The thread seemed to be getting a little light on pics so here’s a shot from yesterday… the second batch of 200 gal going in.

    In this shot from the left side you can see the Tunze flow disturbing the surface.

    Here’s the tank with 400 gal in it. Still pretty cloudy as of yesterday afternoon.
