Nice wood work. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

That is a sweet looking tank.

Good to know, I was completely unaware of that button.

Nice, welcome back Ian!

I should have been a bit more specific. On my 36" tank, my MH/T5 light fixture has 2x150w MH plus 4x39w T5. My T5 only fixture had 6x39w T5. I agree, not a fair comparison.

Tried all 3. I have been using T5 for over 5 years now, I am still using T5. If $ wasn't the problem, I would switch back to MH/T5 in a heart beat.

Depending on the cost of the regular glass vs. starphire glass. I personally cannot notice the different between regular and starphire. Would I pay $100 more to have starphire, maybe. I wouldn't pay anymore than that. I've owned an Oceanic non starphire tank in the past and I own a Keith Grandt...

LOL, yes, it's been a while.

It finally happened. I was able to fill the tank. I used 2 jacks and a 4x4 cross beam to support the floor in the crawl space. Super sturdy, can probably hold an elephant. Tank transferred finally happened. It took about a day to make the water and bringing it to the right salinity. After I...

Sure, PM me for the Mario's detail.

That is a really nice set up. Can't wait to see the progress on this.

Good eye, but no. The previous owners of the house opened up the floor plans by knocking down some walls and adding a counter top. The dining room table area was re-positioned. I think it was just a cost effective way to keep the light above the dining table without messing with the electricals.

I debated between steel and wood, but ultimately decided on wood. I had a few quotes on steel stands that were way out of my price range. I have a 48" ATI 6 bulb light fixture hanging above with a 48" blue reef brite attached to the fixture.

Finally coming around to complete my dream tank. I decided on a custom tank 60x24x21 built by a local builder Keith Grandt. The tank has 3 sided starphire glass with an external center overflow. The stand was built also by a local builder Mario. I am extremely happy with the quality of the tank...

Things are looking very good.

Those jaw breakers are very hardy. They should be fine. It might take some time to acclimate. They like low to medium flow in my tank. Very nice setup.

I have quite a few on some rocks. I'm in SSF. PM me to schedule a time.

thanks for the suggestions. I was able to use moving straps to lift the tank.

I need to move a 130 gallon tank. Does anyone have suction cup lifter to borrow or does anyone know where I can rent them?

Great job Kris.
