My 1st Build (65 Gallon)

Here is a pic....

 

Love the knobs on the stand.

 

Like the canopy. awesomness

 

This brings back memories from starting mine. I just took my 65 down last week. I like the looks of them but the 24 inch depth got old for maintaining things. Nice build.

 

Glad you were able to figure out the plumbing. I am so jealous when people say - oh, yeah I just put this together with some spare wood laying around

I'll inquire again, what are your plans for the tank?

 

I am not really sure. I want to have as many corals as I can(both SPS and LPS). I am going to start off with some easy ones first, with this being my first saltwater build an all it makes sense. I love the way zoas conform to the rocks and spread like crazy it idea settings. Throw in a couple of hammers and maybe anemone and a few smaller fish and I'll have the makings of a beginning reef tank. I am also looking into a couple of chalices because I have a lot of overhangs they could thrive in.

 

looks like a great start. That rock scape makes me nervous though. I think you might find coral placement a little difficult as well. Also, you might want to look at skimmer silencers that fit over the air hose. I put one on my ASM g2 and it made it alot quieter.

 

Updated aquascape. I have been looking at possibly changing the scape. It it very solid. I know it looks like it isn't but I only have to epoxy two pieces to make it hurricane proof lol

 

I like the aquascape! Looks very cool. excellent job on the stand and hood. Cant wait to see this baby thrive!

 

It looks so CLEAN! Love it! Sounds like you have some great plans in store for your tank!
