    A Golden Reef Tank

    I picked up the Neptune Apex system for the display tank and for the QT systems. I've spent the last month focusing on prepping for and installing these systems. After two days of finising up minor issues and cleaning the filtration area, I can finally do another pan of the room. I had a few...

    A Golden Reef Tank

    Lastly, I've been making A LOT of water! Today, I finally did a final check on all of the true union valves and let the water run down into the sump. I initially had all valves turned off and then started opening one at a time so that I could bring small sections online to monitor...

    A Golden Reef Tank

    I installed the four MP-60's in the dry boxes. Then, I spent a good amount of time organizing electronics. The cord management isn't complete. I'm still debating controllers and how much I'll actually run through a controller. For now, everything that is running is plugged in directly to...

    I installed two Vectra M1's into the overflow box. They feed back up to independent sea-swirls. That's a modified closed loop. I have these set up obviously for the added flow, but also because these will be my go-to pumps to transfer over in the event of a power outage. I didn't want a true...

    A Golden Reef Tank

    I started off the weekend prepping for the Radions to arrive. I only have one right now to build and design from. The rest are on order. I built a wood jig to create some acrylic mounts off of. I trimmed all of the mounts to fit that jig. I made 8 mounts. 4 over the display and 2 each over...

    A Golden Reef Tank

    The back side in the filtration room. I will be using a cable chain guide on the electric cables so that everything is well managed and protected as the rack rolls out and in. I am on hold with the rest of this rack while I wait for more fasteners. I also picked up a few more pieces of...

    A Golden Reef Tank

    Stacey- The steel stands came from Grainger. I remember there being one south of Tacoma when I lived in the area. There are a few here in Denver.
