So after 8 years I have made it to the big boys forum!

2400 x 800 x 700 in Wall Tank with the main focus on fish with SPS corals.

8yrs is young! I've waited 10yrs to join, and should be joining might soon. Can't wait to see how this progresses!

Correct. Tank is going into that opening. It is 244cm. Perfect!

Access will be via a door in the back left corner as we will be moving the laundry into the back right corner of the fish room (currently backs onto that back left corner)

Outside door is a bonus but I dont want to walk outside every time. Not at least till Ideck out there.

Thanks. It is nearly done though now.













The real fun stuff starts this weekend!

Tank Time!

[Rusty1]

Well it has been a big last few days. Laundry is completed 99% just a few finishing touches I will do this week



Made the frame to lift the 900 stand up to 1m high. Tested it for level and was pretty good, so not too much packing required.






Today we picked up the tank and stand, modded the stand, added the frame and a board and secured it to the wall. All in all it went to plan thanks to Dennison (#1 tank mover) and Matt (#1 Helper)



Have decided to run an external sump as opposed to under the tank as I need storage for all my fish stuff. This will make working on the sump so much easier too.
