Order tank lid right now lidyourreef reefinaintezy. Worth the money and wait. No other lid manufacturers compare.

Looks nice. What is the purpose of the area on the right with the 9 little sections?

That’s a very nice tank! Looking forward to seeing the progress.

That is a good plan. You don't want to be buying equipment multiple times...like me! Lol!

The electronics compartment on the right is one of the things I liked the most about their design. Plus, it has the built in DJ strip, yeah?

 

[Cody]

Also, just noticed the mount above where you put the tank. Not sure if that's a threat to the fish or a bad omen haha

Those are media chambers
I’ll likely do some sort of biosphere in them

Sorry build has gone slow but it is progressing. Big thanks to Dennis at Fjw for opening store for us to get aquascaping material and lighting.

Installed lights this morning and still working with the aquascaping.

Plan on plumbing the salt mixed and RO tank today.

Yes

It's coming along nicely...

The rock tower on the left hand side is very tall - you have enough space to place corals on the top? I have a similar tower except mine has about 8 inches to water surface.

What’s the plan mixed reef? Does that cade have a starboard bottom?

Looking good so far. Cycling the dead base rock took longer than I had hoped for mine.
