Graham's New 100 gal Build

[grahamsn]

Well after taking a break for sometime it is time to get back into it. A very kind friend hooked me up with a 100 gal acrylic tank. Just drilled the bottom for a herbie style setup. Cut the acrylic last night for the over flow box going in the center of the tank.

Started creating rock work with drilling and acrylic rods.

Sump still undecided on what I am going to do.

Tank will be sps mainly with some zoas to cover some rock work.

Fish undecided as of now, but got to have the nemo's for the kids

Will post pics soon of what I got done.

The first pic wasnt bad. The second one, I got a little dizzy, The third one I tried standing on my head, The next one I held the computer screen upside down and got a cramp in my arm. Sorry I didnt make it to the last one. LOL

Lol yeah on the comp they were right-side-up when I imported to RF it pulled some magic and turned them around.

Oh yeah BTW Todd got the top cut out with enough room to get my hand in. And still plenty of top left over for structural reasons.

Hoping to get the rest of the plumbing this weekend and get some water in the tank Saturday or Sunday.

Been super busy with school and have not posted an update or pics. Plumbing is done, sump is done, water is in it for about a week or more. Rock work and sand in. Will post pics of rock work soon. Used some acrylic rods to create some ledges and arch type looks.
