Soggy's New 65gallon AGA Build

Well It has officially Begun! The guy in the brown shorts brought me my first piece of equipment today so figure its ok to start my Build thread : )

Here is what I found on my door step this afternoon -





I also got a call from my lfs that my tank came in today. I will be hitting the depot tomorrow for lumber to build my stand and I put my 40breeder up for sale on craigslist! The rest of my dry goods should be arriving over the next few days so updates to come : )

 

Cool start

 

Congrats on the new tank ... I will be watching to see how you evolve it .

 

Got more goodies today!!

My tank all painted and ready to lug it into the house!



Here it is with its first inhabitant!!



Someother toys!

My Reef Octopus NWB-150



Flow...



And Testing!!



Hopefully I get some more stuff today!!!

 

Good start. I wish I would have gone with this size tank rather than a 29. Good size.

I like your first choice for livestock. He's cute with his dinosaur PJ's.

 

so another toy came in the mail from marine depot. It was my t5ho 39x6. Unfortunately it was damaged in shipping so they are sending me out a new one. The guy said ups may come to get it but if they don't I can dispose of it however I want. Whats the chance of them not coming to get it lol

 

What is "damaged"...if it can be parted...I could take it off your hands. ;D

 

gotta wait 2 weeks to see if ups comes to claim it. But the top panel that covers the fan and wiring harness is popped out of the channel and a little bent. Easy to fix but for the money I paid I want it to be good as new : )

Sand and salt just got here too! Now all I need is my ro/di unit and to decide on what kind of rock I want and it will be rock and roll time. Gonna start building my new stand tomorrow. I think I am gonna go with a box top type design with about 4 extra inches on each side and try to fit my 40 breeder underneath for a sump.

 

yea i gonna have to go with my gut and say that your first inhabitant is not "reef safe" lol
