Marlin's 180 gallon aggresive tank

[marlinmero]

Finally going to set up my 180 gallon. i got the 90 gallon corner moved out of the way. took me a month to get up the "want to" to move it from one side of the kitchen to the other. Ive spent the last week working on the sump and finally got that done. Got one small pin hole leak in one if the baffles but i'm calling it good. lol The sump is ugly but it works. Here are the pics i've taken so far.

should have done solid braces instead of just pieces would have made sealing it a lot easier.

I found these cool little j Hooks made for plumbing to help hold the plumbing in place.

Well i got the tank and sump in place now. I'm a bit tired now. Things heavy to be picking up by yourself. And to top it off i had to do it about 4 times. I had all the holes cut for standard bulkheads but decided to dremel out the holes and use schedule 80. but here are some more pics. It's sits at 62" tall now

What are you stocking plans (other than aggressive inhabitants )?

 

[marlinmero]

I don't know yet. Got the 2 lions, yellow moray eel, snow flake eel, and the blue grouper. Kinda want to do a banded cat shark.
Coral will be an elegance, tyree sunset, and sum shrooms. All transfers from the 90
