Still a ways away from getting it wet!! Lol
RODI needs to be setup
Sump needs to be built
All plumbing needs to be done
........slow and steady wins the race!! Lol

Looks great so far!!

I had a 65g in wall.  Only downfall imo is that it is very hard to arrange things like corals as you add them to the DT. I had my wife guide me for most locating. I use to be up to my armpit in water most of the time. And if you are going with any cave scaping.... good luck because if anything falls into that area you need a snorkle to find it .  The water gives that magnified look from the top imo. lol


Can't wait to see the progress.

Ya I understand there may be some difficulties with aquascaping/coral placement......but i really wanted the clean picture on the wall look....so it's something i will have to deal with i guess!! lol

Thank god i have long arms!!!
Another bonus is the back side of the tank is completely accessible from all 3 sides
