My 225 Gallon Set-up

3reef hasn't let me down yet.

 

Hey, nice start on the 225. Look forward to more updates and pics as you move along.

Canopy Frame

Well while i was doing some house cleaning i found a bunch of coins and when the total came up I said its time to build the frame for my canopy. If you have any suggestions or inputs I truly appreciate it. I haven't gotten bad advice thus far. Oh yea, I built it with 2x2 pieces of wood.

 

Don't know how I missed this thread. Your tank looks great! I really like your rockwork. I don't know anything about building a canopy, but it looks like you're off to a great start!

 

You must be referring to my 125 that I have running now. I will be transferring most of the fish from that tank into the 225 I am building now. During that time it will be my QT tank once I remove all the rock and corals. That way it will be easier to catch the fish in there. I do appreciate the compliment and I got you invite on Facebook too.

 

Ohhh okay, sorry missed that it is your 125 in the pictures. Well, I'm excited to follow along and watch the progress on your 225. That's a big tank - should be amazing!!

 

And I might even throw a little surprise in the mix.

 

Well I went and got my retro 400W kit today. It was originally for 200 dollars but dude didnt have any bulbs so I only offered half and he accepted. I have a friend who has a used bulb so I will test them out as soon as possible. These ballast give a new meaning to old school.

I also went to the HD and got the rest of the wood for the canopy. I have to take some of it back because instead of 1x4 wood planks I need 1x5 to fit everything. Something told me to measure twice.
