Thanks Allen. Was up til 4:30am this morning and got most plumbing out of the way except manifold which i'm hoping to finish up later tonight and run the tank....hopefully no leak, or i'm in deep $hit.....lol! really deep.

Yeap, don't feel like doing the typical white color. Need some color to spiced up . Will get some pics up soon.

Can't wait to see it up & running! I am going to gauge your build for my 60" vs 72" upgrade.

I like the shallower profile of this DSA tank & I am tempted. I figure shallower will allow for a nice minimalistic aquascape with good LED penetration & easy hand/arm access.

Too bad DSA didn't make a 60" & bigger versions of this Neo 105 tank, I would have so gotten that right away.

Can't wait to see some inspirational material. So jealous.

If you need someone to come help (look at the tank, have a beer and compliment you for moral support) lol

Yup, I can wait to get it running. It should be tonight! All plumbing are good to go except manifold. It's turn off at the moment.

I really like the DSA tank. They are awsome, semi customization at a slight premium. And long long wait for custome tank that normally takes 3-4 month, this should be much faster.

My system is online.....woohoool!!!!

 

[samksy]

Now I need a skimmer and a doser and two more powerhead and I'm all set.

I bite the bullet and went ahead with the older controller since I have no idea when the new version comes in and every where is out of stock. Gotta saythe pump is great, dead silent.

Hay Pak! Thanks!!!

I got the 2nd generation and plumbbed external, hopefully i won't run into the same crap issues like rust.....what a pain in the behind plumbing external, took so much extra work. After two nights, i'm all set, everything is up and running

How's your tank doing? Did you kill any corals you got from me....hehehehe, i need to check out your "furniture" some day.

Sam: Looks really nice. Are you staying BB? I remember one of the first tanks you had (90gallon mixed reef) and I bought one of my first fish (YT) from you back when I first got into this hobby.

Impressive as always. Take some pics from finished side as well. Great work.

Missing my inwall tank already.

red plumbing?

it's a chinese thang. good feng shui! :tongue1:

 

[duromega]

wow that was fast!

 

[samksy]

Hi Ernie!!! Thank you! Yes, I'm going to try out bottom and see how I like it, if not I have 150 lbs of sand on stand by to pour it down.
90g, your probably right, that was my second tank. I went thru a few and I hardly remember what I have now...lol. Will post more picture up soon.

Doug - lol! Yeah, I hope it' brings me good feng shu . So my coral grow and grow and grow.. Hehehehe

Duromega - what's so fast? My progress? I have been up a few nights just working on hanging and plumbing my tank, drilling, gluing overflow. Oh man I never had to do so much when I had my past tanks. I'm so glad everything is done, maybe a little bit of tweeting and touch up.

Sam what is your decision with the lighting?

Sam what is your decision with the lighting?

Rich, i went with kessil for the simplicity look and mh effect. Since I'm doing 3 side viewing, I wanted to have easy access to the front and back side of the tank. ATI would be too bulky and a bit expensive. It's a great light, but I rather spent the money else where. Going with the new elite reef octopus 200 internal skimmer and ghl doser. Can't wait to put that in test.
