I built one stand and got a few items for my build out.. I was doing this at the same time I was trying to do a 400g tank build (that one went away when my employment went away).

Lets try this again now that I already posted in the wrong thread LOL!

Looks great Steve, happy to see things coming along so well. How about some pics of the eye candy you have cooking in those frag tanks!

Ha, make sure you buy your wife what she really likes for the tank, and then let her name it. After she has her own pets maybe she’ll warm up more. :)

Have you been or brought your wife to ADG?

nah. She wants large angels like we had back in college (early 90's). Not gonna get that with a reef tank so she is not interested.

Looks great steve... wish I had that kinda room at my place!

Greg you can just knock out a hall and added on. I hear Cody is good with a hammer and chisel. I can only Imagine if you put a sledgehammer in his hand and gave him a case of Budweiser[emoji2957][emoji12][emoji2957][emoji12][emoji2957]

he and his chisel came over to mine for zoas... i felt a need to hide the budweiser until he was ready to drive home. I figured he could do more damage in my tank than he could drinkin and drivin!

Those tubs bring back memories. ;)
Are you enjoying them? Big enough?

Hey!

Your store is where I got the inspiration. (y)

They work fine. I like the depth. I wish I would have purchased the longer ones at 83" but other than that no complaints.

lol. Funny story. I have several high end SPS. The only ones that I know for sure anymore are Walt Disney, Homewrecker and ASD rainbow mille. I have moved the others around so much I don't know what is what anymore. My other high end stuff is chalices but those aren't ready to frag.

I have several wild acropora and mille colonies though, waiting to be fragged when my 265 is finally online.

The tubs are hydroponic reservoirs I bought online many years ago now.

I got the idea from @Chewy from his store 3CC.
