Kudos to your wife for jumping in to help you!! That's awfully nice! Priming is never a fun task.

 

yeah she's great.... i had to beg her to help but once she started she loved helping..!!

by the way a couple new videos up but they are of my other two tanks not this one...

just wanted to get them off my phone hope you guys enjoy

 

Day 8 finally got to paint

Here's a pic of the first coat

 

ok guys hope yall wanna dramatic change.

i got the stand finished and the tank into the poker room (dining room)

we picked out some fiji rock at the lfs and started filling over the weekend!!!

 

Wow....! So this is day 11 and I can't say how much better this build went than I thought it would.... It's still at 80% but the progress is awesome.

My 40 and 46 bow all moved to my 125 6 footer with ease in a night. Things that I still have left is majority of the sand from both tanks, put a y thingy on the return pump into the display tank, fill the sump even tho there's some sand and water in the refugium for now. Setting up a light on the refugium.

The lights are my 4 bulb t5 on right and 2x on the left a pair of led fixtures will be here before Xmas and the canopy needs to be put on buy won't for with these lights...

Other than that I'm extremely happy with the aquscape for now and will move the corals as my anemone gets comfy

For now the anemone is on his same rock in the corner that my 2 clowns visit a lot so hopefully one or both will start to host if I'm lucky then I'll put that Rock in the mix

Now for the fun part!! Pix!!

My 3 1/2 head kryptonite candy cane (not fully open yet):

Everything loos so happy! And I'll post a video of the fish and everything soon!

 

The ninth pick down looks like Yellow Polyps.

Nice job, keep up the good work

If you have a few minutes, please check out my 125 reef and such in my short videos in my sig.

 

11 days I am impressed nice work, and is that a poker table infront of your tank, if so nice man cave.

 

why yes sir it is a poker table

i aquired this table from a good customer of mine after we finished installing wood in his intire house...

what's nice is his last name starts with an R and my first name is Romie.. so it worked out!

i should have a pretty good video up tomorrow doing a walk through

i will probably go to the lfs today to get the y for the pump return into display and look at some miracle bud i don't know if i will do that it's kinda pricey

but i need to return a banded sand sifting goby because he cleans the sand tooooo well.. i think he's been eating every sign of life in my sand bed so i dont' want that anymore..

 

Great progress for 11 days! Congrats! I like how it's set up near the poker table as well

 

Thanks camkha

I just swapped my banded dragon goby in at the lfs for a echinophyllia frag!! So that's cool

Also picked up a y for the pump return into display!!

Movin a long
