Topic: Reef'd Up's Project 150 Posted: October 12 2012 at 8:59am |
Well, I thought I had a build thread on here, but I can't find it. So, here's a new one. :) We built the stand and canopy back in 2009 in Ohio. It all came down in 2011 for our move to Utah. Unfortunately, the moving company banged the stand up a bit, and I lost most of my corals between the move and the 2011 windstorm. Anyway, here's the build...along with some "now" coral photos. :) Marineland 150g deep tank with Octopus Extreme 250 skimmer w/ soda can for reference Me building an acrylic sump (~50g) Stand build - making sure the sump fit correctly Adding the trim Adding the marble and big leaf maple burl shelf

In Ohio it was set up as a 2-sided tank. Here we have it set up as an island. Since we're military and can't predict our houses, we made it so it can be an island, peninsula, 2 or 1 sided.

I get to see this tank a couple of times a week and it's amazing. When I get to occasionally tank set I have to be careful because i catch myself watching it for a long time and really should be working. Nice tank.

I've taken two polyps off since 2007, and that was only to make a backup in case I ever lost the mother. So, I doubt I'll ever sell a piece, but I'll keep you in mind. :) Under more actinics: How it looked when I got it back in 2007:
