    Hello,
    I am upgrading my 72G bowfron to a 120G Oceaninc Tech. I absolutely love it. I am just starting it so please bare with me and be kind. LOL>.. I had to build a stand and took heavy insight from Reid's build. I am waiting on the 40G breeder sump and once that is in I will trim is out and put the doors on. Here are some pics of it so far (temp 20L sump)

    All my live stock is in a 30G holding tank so that I may let this on run for about 2 weeks. It does not need cycling, I used most of the H2O from my BF and topped of with filtered water. I am working on getting an RO/DI. Thanks for looking and please share thoughts and advice.

    Found the pics! Your other thread does not include pics... It looks like a good start! Can't wait to see the progress in the future.

    I would recommend you stain or paint the plywood on the inside of the stand. The salt creep will eventually turn that into cardboard.

    Sweet looking tank, I just have to ask real quick. Filtered water? I hope you mean ro, and not tap. Otherwise you might have algae issues down the lie.

    Thank you DellyJoe:

    I plan to purchase an RO filtration setup soon. Right now it's just an in-line filter tapped into my cold water line. :-/

    Have to make do with what I got.... For now atleast.

    Check out spectrapures website. They have a holiday sale. I recently bought one from them and I'm glad I did. A little bit expensive but it beats buying 20 gal of water at a time.
