love a rimless tank.. just don't have the balls to have a tank that big without some sort of reinforcement, hehe I love how your stand has a wall to keep out the salt from interfering with the electronic gear..

Finally set up my chaeto reactor. Started with a tiny ball of chaeto. Looks like it's working!

I also found one of those at the LFS. Looks we shop at the same place.

Just got a nowesco rodi container. I like it. No more mosquitoes getting in the brute containers.

Alright. Just got some fish in, installed a fan on top of the tank and got a lid from artfully acrylic. Looks great!

I'm going to be swapping tanks from my 90 to my new 180. Did you set up the new one and once settled you moved the live stock? Or did you let the new tank cycle?

I pushed my old 120G about 10 feet away, then put the new 180G in the original position. Then worked the plumbing, moved everything from the 120 over. Used about 70% of the old live rock with corals, 20% of the old sand, and 50% of old water. No need to cycle as the tank is already cycled from before!
 

Form or function: Do you consider your rock work to be art or the platform for your coral?
