WOOW Cat, (Tektike) even better than the tank it self.
Just a waiting game now that all corals will color up a bit more.

By inigomontoya,

Man Ben you are adding some beautiful, high end pieces to your tank. Time to think generator already! Heck, I might do a vacation day and swing our other delivery (whenever it freaking makes it) by your place so I can see the tank.

Your build is so R2R, to bad Marshians who don't make the roll are missing it.
Did you get your sump finished up?

And what everybody hates is a set back on your tank, cracked bulkhead.
With a CTC overflow not a easy fix...........well not for me!

Bulkhead was in the back center.
As you can see it has split in half.
Had to take off all Radions and the tile back splash.
Good thing is that my system is build so it's easy to take apart in sections in no time,

Two hours later.............all back up running.

By inigomontaya,

Pretty sure if I tried a repair in that fashion it would be on the news by the end of the day, "man killed fixing fish tank"

I love that Ric garden. That tank sure is packed with a bunch of nice goodies! It will be amazing when it all grows in. Glad to see the rastas and ******* are doing good. Is the gorgonia ok? In the pic he looked a little off, but maybe it was a lighting issue.
Thanks for sharing your tank

Not sure Jason.

Last week I saw some salt-creep in the back of the tank under that bulkhead, closer look was that my bulkhead was dripping slowly.
I was not gonna tighten the bulkhead with a risk of more trouble.

So I shut the system down build something over it

so my weight wasn't on the tank or stand.
Even as I tested my stand with 2 pallets of pavers on top before I put the tank on top ( pavers 6400 lbs, tank + back-splash 2300 lbs )
When I took the bulkhead off it broke almost in half. (see pic)
Well, it's all good now, not bad for a rookie reefer!
