    Hour Two

    I believe I will stop here as there is no leaks. I will leave it like this with a powerhead or pump for a few days just to be safe.

    Thats a ton of water! I want to do a build just like this but am thinking 4 ft, 4 ft by 24 inchs as the dimensions (about half the size of yours I believe). My dream is a tank like this and a 210 gal FOWLR with Triggers, non-reef safe wrasses etc.

    Its getting close!

    A lfs has a tank very simialr to those dimensions. I think its 12" high tho, not sure. But its sick, its there "nice" coral tank, but new renovations in the store, allows him to have smaller tanks for the frags, and use that as a show tank.

    Im trying to talk em in to a volcano reef. With a nice size mangrove tree, here in florida, theyre everywhere. lol

    You got that right. I have been known to go a little bit overboard. As for the repairs, I am very happy with them.

    Yes it is. My neighbor came over and the first thing he said was your water bill is going to be high. LOLOL I just saw a tank like that on another forum and it was full of SPSs. It was sweet. If this system isn't successful then I will most definitely make it a aggressive reef tank.

    A LFS here had a tank like that and the mangroves were growing into the overflow.

    Thanks Vinny. I am sure I can find something else to cross for good luck too.

    shoot... my dream tank is a 10-15'x10-15'x 8-10' tall tank right as you come into the house... but of course that's my after i hit it big and am a millionaire tank.

    My somewhat more down to earth tank size is well... reefbruh's tank. More or less. That's why i'm so psyched about it...
