So I'm building my first large reef tank!!!!!

[nanomaster]

I have had fresh water fish my whole life basically. Recently I have jumped into nano reef tanks. I have had many ups and downs. I feel like I am ready to go big reef. Follow along and comment if you see I am doing something wrong.:bathbaby:

I have it already it's a CAD Lights SAIO 100g rimless tank.

this is where i am going to put it. unfortunately its near a window but only space in the house the wife is ok with. I ran into my first problem/project. The area I decided to place my tank has no near by outlets. So I did what any obsessed fish tank person would do. I ordered a breaker and coil of wire. I crawled under my home drilled some holes and Tada. I got an out with a dedicated 20amp breaker.

Tank looks nice. As a word of caution, that chair is awful close to the glass. Not sure if you have kids, friends, or relatives but someone at some point is gonna contact the glass with the chair while getting up from the table and they will no longer be your friend/kid/relative... Just sayin.

That's a really nice tank. Do you have pictures of how the filtration chambers in the back look like? Just curious since I usually see smaller AIO, not something that big.

Sure I'll load them up tomorrow.

This will better show exactly how the back looks than any picture I could take.

Nice. The rear section looks like more of a sump and you can fit a lot back there.

So the wify decided that she me to redo our floors this summer. At first i was like how the heck do you think i am going to move this freaking large tank. Then i realized well its empty now so ill just do this spot only.

I found most of mine off of facebook. Not too many retailers around here sell flower nems.

The forum police here is very discouraging. I am not even sure I wanna continue posting my progression here. I'll sit on my hands for a few.
