Reef Bruh's 600 Gallon Upgrade

Very nice!

Any update on the get wet date? Next 4-8 weeks?

 

Thanks. On the coral tank or the main tank?

 

I really like all your stuff, tanks, corals, etc., etc.

I REALLY like that stand, thanks for sharing via pics the steps to get it so plumb, and then the added braces to beer it up some!

I need to rebuild my stand, but not quite sure how I'm going to transfer things to containers, and how much rock, etc., I'll then take out to move the tank onto the new stand, etc.
So as for now, I just leave it alone. It's 18degrees outside, and with the wind, it's about 0 F.

 

Thank you for the compliment. The stand is a little overkill but its sturdy. I am more confident in building stands now than I ever had before. The key is making sure all the verticle cuts are the same length. I cut the first one, then lay it on top of the next board. Pull the saw down until its slightly buts up with the first cut board and proceed to make the cut. I then do the rest of the boards the same way. The only thing that changes is the type of tank and if you need more support boards.

I dont know if you have room in the house but you could by some tubs from HD/Lowes and place all the water and fish inside there with a powerhead or an air bubbler. Man that is some cold weather. I feel for you.

 

Main tank.

 

Safely in 8 weeks with the reef gods blessing.

 

Ha, I do it the same way!

 

In that case, I'll make sure to do a toast to the reef gods tonight for ya. ;D

 

That will be greatly appreciated.

 

wow..you are one patient reefer! I saw where this build thread started 9/11......
