So I went and picked up the new tank and stand today along with a 55 gallon water container for my RO with auto shut off valve installed in the can so i can stop having to check when im filling FINALLY. here's a few pics of the antique stand customized into holding an aquarium and a custom built hood to match the antique stand, the tank, the fish room before the storm as of now and a little buddy that is now in QT after finding him in the plumbing after about a half hour out of water (guessing on the time as we seen him laying in the bottom of the tank in pretty much wet sand, must have been in the drain lines of the plumbing after living in the previous owners overflows for months and when we put the plumbing all in the tank for transport he must have fell out.View attachment 5542View attachment 5543View attachment 5544View attachment 5545View attachment 5546
 
Will be moving everything over from my current 75 along with more live rock and sand as the new tank is the same length and width as the 75 just adding roughly 10 inches in height or so for more coral placements and this tank is drilled and overflows installed where my 75 was not. Have a 55 gallon tank I recently stripped and resealed need to get glass cut hopefully tomorrow and caulked in for the sump and just grab a protein skimmer and should be ready to rock. Just wanted to start this thread and snap a few pics now before I got started and forgot and maybe this will keep a fire lit under my *** to get it done asap this week.
 
So a little more research and the tank I got was not a 110 it is a oceanic 105 so I was off a little in the original post. Everything is all transfered over and the tank barely fit with less than an inch clearance hood to ceiling so it was about as tall as I could go with the current stand which I really liked and didnt want to part with. forgot to stop and take many pics durring the build as usual so here we are done
 
Wow!! Glad you saved the Flame. that must have been a major surprise finding it.

The tank looks great. I'm a fan of the "rock wall".
 
flame actually didnt make it just died this morning tried saving it but just was a little beyond that i guess he died in QT about an hour ago :(

I have mainly fish as of now and a few corals and a clam and some crabs and snails of course lol

Blue face angel, yellow tang, naso tang, blue eye tang, pink spot goby, mandarin goby, green clown goby, tomato clown, pajama cardinal, lunare wrasse, fairy wrasse, yellow tail damsel, crocea clam, candy cane colony, few polys here and there, few unknown corals here and there lol, elephant snail

off the top of my head I think thats about it may have missed a critter or two

had a powerhead too close to the rock in my last tank durring the conversion and lost a serpent starfish and a condy anemone in the process they decided to check out the powerhead and didnt make it through the night
 
and yes tall tank I like it hoping to be ale to get a lrge variety of lighting and flow out of it as I expand into more corals over time with a pretty powerful light system it will be nice to have areas a little far away from the lights
 
finally got protein skimmer hooked up, wavemaker purchased and 2 new powerheads and a wavemaker, you know bunch of tedious stuff so i decided to take a new pic after a little moving around in the tank and took some rock out as well was too much to clean the sides, and of course a few new corals here and thereView attachment 6145
