Stand came today! Couldn’t wait to throw it together! It was extremely easy to put together and feels pretty solid.

I hope that shows up. I’m using Tapatalk so who knows... [emoji16]

Wow looks sleek! How costly is this compared to a metal stand?

It’ll sit on leveling feet. I’ll try to get a picture on them. They’re nothing special but should help in ensuring the tank is nice and level. Came with the package. [emoji16]

It’s been a minute since my last post and I put another video up on YouTube. Actually 2, but I’m battling those flatworms in my little tank... anyway...

The tank is up on the stand and it’s very nice! I don’t know if I’d say it’s worth what I spent, but I still am drooling over it!

Here’s how it looks right now:

Sorry about all the blue in the photos.

Much more to do!

Ahh I see your photo made it on Planet's FB page. :p
Hope I can get my tank before they decide to shutdown due to the national emergency. :(

I’ll have to check that out! I did post on my IG and saw they reposted there... It’s a pretty awesome setup! Not Reef Savvy level stuff, but as close as I could afford! LOL!

I know exactly the feeling! Not Reef Saavy either, but don’t even want to know how much our setups would run for with RS. Planet is good enough for me. 😎

My tank would’ve been $7k, bro. Just the tank. LOL! I was seriously tempted, but this is only one of three of my dream builds. I have time. [emoji41][emoji2957]

Thanks for the killer deal, RRMAN! :)

I got the bulbs burning in now, before I start programming it.

Your tank is gorgeous, btw!

But!!! Did I show off my new calcium reactor? I got this thing brand new, for a rippin’ deal, too! Local reefer that didn’t realize how big it was... he’s going with 2-part for now as his tank is mostly LPS.

Here’s a pic:

I’ve never used one like this, so I’m kinda excited about it!
