245 Gallon Custom new build with basement "fish room"

[Dreadnaught]

Thanks Tim. I was able to grab a picture of new female Bimaculatus Anthia that I added to other QT.

Nice fish!

These B Anthia are absolutely beautiful (and big). Pictures don't do them justice.

Very nice!

Where did you get those racks and will they rust?

 

[Dreadnaught]

The racks with QT? I got them at Menards. I suspect you can get something similar at HD or Lowes. They are fairly inexpensive and will probably eventually rust. I think I can get a couple years out of them and fill up my tank. Each rack is rated for 250lbs. I don't trust the plastic collar and how it's held with weight. I drilled small holes through and secured them with small screws at each corner.

Smart move because I have seen those slip, right off of that plastic collar. wish I had that much space in my fish room, looks great

I moved all my Deepwater Acros to a single rock and almost all other Acros, stylo, digi to the other. Some of them were encrusted in to the rock so it wasn't easy. I also added some Zoas, acans, Favia and shrooms. (I need to learn how to take better pictures and get more shots). I removed a bunch of frags that I had added multiples of in the begging. They were also encrusting and I didn't want them in permanently.

Wish we had basements in Florida lol. Remote fish rooms like yours always make me so jealous. Excellent build thread!

I spent a few years in SRQ so I know what you mean. This is my little piece of the ocean, you have vast amounts at your finger tips. Thank you for visiting.

Looking good!

I have received a few questions on how I control flow through the Sump and Refugium. I hope this video helps.

Bummer... I lost another one this morning. He jumped while I was feeding and I did not notice for a couple minutes.

 

[Bob Escher]

What a nice job.

 

[Dreadnaught]

And another... Painful day.

Man your setup is jawdropping I can't wait till you show us personally. You've done some serious work getting it together. Well thought out and executed.
