I am thinking of the best way to switch over to Red Sea or something different, what would be y’all recommendation for switching over salts then since it doesn’t look like tropic marin will be an option? There’s no way you should just one day do a full water change with new salt right? Gradually add the new stuff into some water changes towards the end of the bucket?

Thinking too much into it. Just buy Red Sea salt and do your regular water changes with it. Get the Red Sea that matches your alk the closest. 

Inception just happened. You were probably sleeping

BRS hype train is what happened. I still have a bucket in the garage but switched to Red Sea a long time ago

Pending

Is this stand made from 15 series?   If so, I have 8 plates left over from my build.  These are 4351, 5 hole corner plates.  And after doing my hood build, I realized I needed  to use 4 hole plates.   PM me if you don't want to wait for your order to arrive.

Thanks for the offer but my parts should be here tomorrow. It is 15 series

I’ve only quarantined fish and I’ve been lucky. Getting ich from inverts and corals is less likely but not zero. 
 

it’s like crossing the street. I look both ways some of the time. Not everytime time

What a beautiful beast. This is an office tank lol

Great looking stand. We use similar extrusions at work to build modular fan walls, and based on that experience I recommend using gussets at the bottom that match the top. 

Im getting some additional outside brackets. Can’t use inside brackets because of the cut to fit board that goes on top

Kind of makes me wish i hadn't dropped your new tank and broke it.

That’s ok. You’ll just make me a better one

This was a lot of work

Free gfo

I kinda want it but it's probably overkill for my 120G build...

I’ve got say this is too much fun. Like a giant lego 

Parts from tnutz.com came in today

shipping of custom parts was super quick and the packaging was impressive. It’s heavier/studier than I anticipated. It’s a good 100lbs of weight right there  

some of my measurement were in 1/16” and they are on point!

That’s like reef talk to non reef people...

Hayes had lots of frags for sale!

This is a really cool concept. I would be curious if you could build little rubble type plugs so it looks a little more natural and adds some depth. I’ll be setting up a new tank soon and may have to try this...

lookin good! When do you get the tank and how soon can you expect to have water in it? 

I thought about but in the end when it’s all covered in corals you can really the rock anyway. I always aim for 100% coverage of the rocks so the “bones” don’t really matter. I really want something to prevent corals from growing into each other

tank is ready, I get the stand parts tomorrow. Still need plumbing and sump. I’ll probably have water in it in a month

This weird thing is happening. Everytime I drill a hole and place a frag plug in it...I can see a $100 leaving my wallet...

@Natedogg officially won! Thanks everyone for playing

Looks like you really did nothing...like taking it off the pallet
