Thanks Buddy glad you like em wait till you see some of the tank mount ones I'm gonna build :-) all architectural and stuff won't be super cheap though but hey ya gotta pay for art and custom built stuff.. I can't wait till I can have a in wall setup life will be so much easier. I've really enjoyed the build though and my skills improve every time which is also awesome. Next time I may try some exotic woods and buy a few additional tools to get more creative. Thanks for all the kind words now I need to finish my water change pumping station and I'm set. The fun part is just beginning can't wait to add some corals but I somehow encountered Montipora nudibranches in the 40 and I'm probably just going to toss them and only bring zoas sticks and lps. Is there any precautions to take with other coral I was pest free forever and I am pretty sure I know how these got In my tank but o well shit happens and most of my collection is non monti will a coral rx dip in waves in a 5 gal bucket do the trick on almost everything else ?
 
Test sticks in the tank have been lookin good for about 12 days... Sooo I got some sweet acros that showed up at Reefwise today... Hope all goes well cuz if they look good Sunday I'm transferring the rest of my shizznit from the 40 n draining it

Center of the tank with purple tang



New piece prolly my fav




Some shrooms cloves and gsp with the watchman that were first adds from 93




Once all my corals come over its gonna be awesome. I think it's ready but my big colonies can't be jeopardized what you guys think I'm seeing polyp extension and everything looks good
 


Finished pumping station today used a blueline55 external pump supposedly is good to 25' head height. The big brown rain barrel holds 50 gallons of ro that automatically fills via float switch I can use the pump to transfer ro upstairs to my 20 gallon ato and transfer to the tall white 22 gallon salt water mix tank for water changes it also recirculates throughs the clear flex hose which can also pullout and be used to fill buckets downstairs... All segmented with balvalves ect should make life easy.


Then it leads upstairs to my flex line to the tank and or ato... :) making a candcane spray bar that is on a valve tomorrow and I'm done ... FINALLLLYYYYYY ALL THE MESS MAKING BUILDING SHIT IS 99% over !!!!! I'm so glad. Now to take down the 40 all the coral in 180 is looking great!
