Devin, if you decide that you don't like the white edge of the styrofoam showing, try black latex paint.
It's what I did on mine. Doesn't do a perfect job, but does cover 99.9 %.

I'd test what every paint you get first on a scrape piece.

Looks really good Devin. How tall is that stand? Looks like you are going to have lots of clearance under there...

 

[1guydude]

The stand is 3' 6" I think. It's a tall mother.
With the latex paint and wood facaud it should get covered.

Hey Devin, I saw a perfect tank mate for you...BRA has a small Singapore Blueline Angel. Adorable...very good reef safe. Mine is 8" now going on 5yrs.

 

[1guydude]

thank u. Hard to find mostly reef safe fish for this beast.
I gotta get down there anyways soon enough.

Anyone wanna talk pumps? Gonna be running a pretty high watt pump. hybrid barracuda thats 350+watts.
speedwave 2640gph return dc pump prob another 85w
(2)tunze 6125 powerheads 44w
jaebo rw-8 8-23watts
jaebo rw-15 28watts ? +/- a lil
(2)maxi jet Italy 1200 for two pellet reactors and OBD skimmer water intake.

So. Im wanting an electrician to come out and run a wire to the box with a gfci and such.
Lots of plug ins for my beauty. Also wouldnt mind some in the gargage.

Im looking at neptune new wav pumps. Also id like one of those ecotech dc pumps that just came out.
If im gonna get a neptune. I might as well get some kool powerhead/toys to play with it on.

[1guydude]

I cleaned sand for 2-3hrs last night. Lol
Woooohooooo
Still need to get wood for the bottom for layout of sump and piping. Aka. Plumbing. Hopefully I'll be able to get busy big Mike over to help out. I'd like a wc built into the CL.
Need reef safe concrete so I can make structure and aquascape.
Clean equipment like a mofo.
The list grows...

Pix r a here.

 

[1guydude]

You can see the flat flush strainers I'll be using.
I still need a tiny stand pipe for emergency siphon. Gate valves galore.
And
The acrylic black teeth piece to cover the overflow.
Lots of work still on this project.

[1guydude]

CL returns. Just Lil bulkheads and 90deg loc line pieces.
I still don't know what I'm going to do with the returns.

 

[1guydude]

And the sand from my stairs view. I may add 1 more bag around the perimeter. You can see my 3 step latter I have to use to work on the beast.

[1guydude]

Thanks. Happy reefing! Work tomorrow. Looking forward to payday thursday, so I can make a Lil more progress. $$$

Edit: hopefully I'll b having a winter BBQ boys ....to show this beast off.

 

[1guydude]

On another note. I've decided I wanna retire 30 yrs from now lmao in stielacom by the water. I wanna do a vase reef than. Total polar opposite of the beast tank. Tech will probably be cr@zy by than. Lol

[seedlessinseattle]

Nice
I see some progress, looking good Mr D
When is the BBQ ?

 

[1guydude]

Lol probably not till next year at the rate I'm going.
Progress is slow and relying on $.

[1guydude]

I will than do white vinegar and fw soaks.
