My 75gal and now upgrade to 180g in progress

LOL love those urchin pics

 

thanks 2in10 - Yea the hermit crab was happy to be free again - he was hungry too

 

Well I finally did it - I bought a 180 gal with a 60 gal sump and refugium yesterday. I am very excited

I will have to change this thread to my 180 gal.

My reef aquarium will be 1yr in Oct - I will be taking down my 75 and transferring it to the 180 gal - I will update from here

 

Sounds like you are in for some fun, lol. Congratulations.

 

Yea I get it delivered in a week - going to create the rock work ahead of time and place it in.

 

Well, Well, Well, if it's not tank1970. That is a huge upgrade, congrats, looking forward to the build.

 

Thanks - I know it's going to be a long process - I have learned so much and always learning more

I have the space all painted and the flooring is almost done - I delayed the tank arival by a week to make sure it's all ready in it's forever home LOL

I will be doing post once it's in

180 gal delivered last night

Well it finally arrived last night with a 60 gal sump/refugium. Let the fun begin.

It will be a very slow build hope to have the 75 gal fully moved over by the end of Dec 2011.

I will update with photo's shortly.

 

180 gal build started with photo's

Well finally got all the dead leaves and cleaned it all up nice and shinny LOL

this is the official 180 gal starting point ;D

This is a 180 gal drilled with a 60 gal sump/refugium. As you can see in the photo's I already started the land scape - might switch it around still.
