578 gal Fish Only Tank build!
- Thread starter ERIC1975
- Start date
It's been a productive day. Made a light box to hold my 4 Kessils and hide all the cords and adapters
Also got done with most of the moulding. It's starting to look pretty good
Sump will be delivered sometimes next week. After that I will do the plumbing. Since the tank is not sitting against the wall that connects to the garage like my other tanks, doing water change for this beast will be quite a task. My water change for my current 225 reef tank only takes less than 10 mins with the turn of a few valves. For this tank it seems the only way to that is to run the pipe around the living room and it will have to cross the floor at the entry way and thru the wall to the garage. A little unpleasing esthetically but will make water change so much easier.

Got some more work done today. Got my Kessil light fixture finished and hung. Got most of plumbing done but while working I dropped my pliers and it hit the sump bottom panel and caused a half circle crack So I went down to Lowes got some JB Weld and cut up some small acrylic pieces and patched it up. Will wait for it to dry over night and test leak tomorrow.
Test light with fake corals inserts
The crack in the sump caused by me dropping the pliers
