    I hooked it up in a cabinet adjacent to my sink and drilled a hole through the wall and ran the tube to the tank. I plan to have my ATO pull directly from the purifier with a t and valve to fill up water change water.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Beautiful 30 gallon. It looks like you put a lot of thought into the scape and coral placement.

    Thank you! I like to move slow and look find pieces that fit. Such a fun puzzle. I love this hobby!! I can't wait to build the new reef! I won't be in such a rush this time. I filled the 30 gallon too fast!

    Speaking of filling... We're getting higher!! I'm so ridiculously excited!

    almost finished with the fill!! I think I stirred up some sand with my vortech pump... I guess that's why it's so milky...

    That looks huge compared to the 30 Thatgrimguy
    no wonder it took a few days to fill

    The cloud may take a day or 3 to settle out, but it always does IME

    Just like people said, by looking at the 30 gallon pics, I have a feeling that this 210 is gonna be one of the best, drooling, everyones dream aquariums we would be lucky to witness. Keep the pics coming!

    By the way,

    I thought it stopped loading the pic.

    Awesome! It's a monster compared to the 30 gallon! I plan on keeping my 30 going as well just for fun/experimenting. I have never filled a tank this size. It's taken nearly 36 hours to fill! The owner of my LFS and his son are coming one day this weekend to help me hook up all my filters/sump and layout the rock! So hopefully I will have a couple fish in there after about a week or so. My lighting kit is still a ways off though, I'm sure.

    Gave him away. He needed more room to roam and I needed a lighter bio-load.
