My 750 gallon fiasco build

[khaosinc]

I know alot of you have seen my build thread on another forum, but I'm hoping to make this forum a second home so I thought I would have an abreviated version here as well.

So anyway..

Here it is as 2 people tried to figure out how to unload an 1100 pound tank.

In place... still in one piece by some twist of fate.

Putting in the already made up rockwork (I had to do something while I was waiting for the tank to get there)

Actually seeing water for the first time...

cycling away while I unfortunetly was in the hospital having heart surgery..

fun with plumbing

the tank starts to look alive (after yet another few weeks int he hospital)

first dialing in of the euroreef 750 skimmer

 

[khaosinc]

all the surviving corals from my previous tank failing are in...

linka checking out the fromt veiwing pane after it didn't get cleaned for a month and a half...

How's your health doing? are you able to do all the work on your tank? I know you'd want to but could understand if it became a problem !

Yes this is a very very short version !!

ever see an astpasia host a clown... LOL (yes I finally got rid of it)

the brains of the operation...

first 'new' livestock added... little hippo tang..

tank as it sits as of last week...

closer veiws

The 'Dark' side... I really need more lighting

the cave..

The arches

The rubble zone... lots of room for corals.

great looking setup can't wait to see more

My imediate plans include actually getting around to building the hood and skinning the stand, repairing the 220 (my previous tank) to use as a fuge, finishing up the 300 gallon sump with cryptic zone, DSB, seconday macro area (untill the other tank is done) and return pump area.. its currently funtional, but not how I want it. Then I might even get to start adding a real clean up crew and livestock....

Theres also future plans for an additional tank as a preditory tank, but thats farther down the line.

I'm still rather slow going due to the afore mentioned surgerys as my ribs are not fully healed, and due to bills and missing a month and change at work, neither are my finances. But this build will continue...

I'm doing alot better. Finally got the blasted IV out of my arm yesterday (after 6 weeks) so as soon as I'm sure the hole is healed up I can finally have my arms in the tank again... Docs still won't release me to do "real" work so I'm just an overpaid night security guard at work for another 3 weeks. I can't wait to get a wrench back in my wands and actually be able to work for real.

Glad I read the long version so I knew everything you went through. Welcome to the boards and glad everything has worked out for the best with your health.

Godspeed

[mcdonaldjosh7]

[brandyrb]
