Any updates RIch?

I pick up the stand this Monday and the tank should be ready this week
I upgraded skimmers to the skimz sm203. I have 40 pounds of premium fiji and 40 pounds of tonga curing for 6 weeks Once I start getting things together I'll post lots of pics.

rich where is the pic of the stand

 

[jackson6745]

The stand isnt finished yet. Here is the latest pic that I have. It's actually 2 parts. The bottom draw is a separate piece that boosts the height if the stand to 37". Still has to be stained, doors and hardware added.

whoever gave you that idea for the drawer underneath is a smart guy . it looks great so far. Cant wait to see this bad boy up and running and wish you where closer cause i would be helping you out buddy.. i just texted ya ...

also are you going to burn some of the wood before you stain? To give it that look....

 

[ReefMonkey13]

Wow . . the stand looks great . . love the "re-claimed" wood look.

Definitely following this along

Rich....Beautiful stand and tank! Congrats!

Thanks guys. I picked up the stand from Tony yesterday and I was blown away. It came out better than I had hoped. Needless to say but I definitely recommend giving Tony a call if you want a quality custom stand.

Awsome!!! Didn't really expect this antiquish look would be so nice, and the booster idea is great!!!! I see a top notch setup coming very soon.

 

[kingator]

Quick update. I finally got the tank and stand together and filled up. I am waiting on vortech mp40's and new sump so I temporarily plumbed in a rubbermaid. I did a quick aquascape which will probably change as I add corals from other tank within the next couple of weeks. There is not much rock in the display to give more room for SPS growth and flow, but I will have a large section of my sump dedicated to rock ruble. Everything is kind of a mess right now but I'll get it together soon

 

[samksy]

Aswsome setup there Rich!!!! Can't wait to see it stock up!

Niceeeee ! can't wait to see corals and fish in.
By the way, I'll highly suggest to take this magnet cleaner off and don't use it with starphire glas

Nice build.

Is that crystal glass lol

EDIT: that was a joke btw. Crystal glass.... Lol

 

[jackson6745]

Thanks Sam.

Mark what should I use instead of the magnet?

 

[skene]

use a credit card or any type of plastic to scrape when it needs cleaning.

Very interesting tank size Rich.
Remember that tank in the corner plumbed to the 120g? That was one of Mark's first attempts at tanks and at a weird dimension of 38.5"x24"x24"

Nice build.

:wink1:Thanks.

Going to be a pain to do that since the tank is 26" high. I would use the credit card for coraline, but I was looking for a safer option for daily diatom on glass. Maybe one of those long kent wiper things?

I don't quite remember that one Warren. You had a lot of tanks down there What did you have in that tank?
