Building a 150RR

135 Gallon with overflow box, 30 gallon sump/fuge, Dual Sunlight Supply Bluewave M80 250w ballast with xm10k, 72in T12 VHO Super Atinic with IceCap 430 ballast. 2 Korila Evo 1400 - 1 Korila Evo 1050 - 1 Korila 4. Kent Marine Nautilus TE skimmer.

Current Set (135 Gallon)



New Stand for the (150RR)

I really like the set up. Stand turned out great.

Nice work on the cabinet. I have to ask. Why the change from a 135G to a 150G?

Is it the removal of the overflow, so the tank will be tidier? As the tank looks great already, in my eyes.

Love it. Jealous of the big tanks for sure! :-)

Thanks guys.
I did want to do away with the overflow and have always wanted a RR tank. Plus a few more gallons never hurts
I was looking around and Sean made me a deal I couldn't pass up.
I just finished adding the first coat of polyurethane and painting the back of the tank. I still have to build my canopy and when everything is finished it should stand right over 6ft. Thanks again for the cheato and helping load the tank in the truck. My neighbor was so happy to help me unload another huge tank when I got home. Tony I still want that frag pack I may just have to wait little bit before I get it or the wife may kill me after this new tank.

Great job on the stand Mike. Can't wait to see the rest of it.

stand looks amazing! good luck with the build.

AWESOME!!!!

I finally got the new 150 set up. I started the transfer @ 6pm its now 1:15am and I am one tired sob. I say I'm tired but I can't make my self stop staring at the new setup I will post some picture tomorrow for all that are interested.

Congrats!

How many hours were spent in rock work? The old, put this rock there, and then that rock there.... naw.. I'll put this rock here, and that rock there....naw...I'll put......

I'm looking forward to seeing the new set up, and the progression from Day 1.
Exciting times.

Sweet! Can't wait to see how it turned out!

Awesome will see it when you wake up enough to post pics

Tank build is looking great Mike. Can't wait o see the rock scape as well.

Sorry I haven't posted pics yet, I've been arranging coral tonight. Everything is doing great. The rock scape looks ok. I had to really try to hurry when I switched since this was a established system and I didn't want lose anything. Anyone that wants to come check it out is more then welcome just shoot me a pm or Text.

Here are a few pictures. Its hard to get good ones with the iphone. I need to find my wifes camera.

I'm jealous man.....looks awesome!!!

Ohhhh snap!

That's sexy right there.

Thanks! I am very happy to finally get it up and running. I got a 28 gal hqi nano from Sean that I want to turn into a frag system sometime.

With a system that large I would QT everything incoming for sure. QT tank!

Tank looks great! Just wondering, how long did you spend on acclimatising the small child tang to your tank?

Child tang? I've got a yellow tang, blue hippo, scopas tang, rabbit fish, 3 clowns and a file fish. All of the rock, fish, coral came from my 135 gallon which was running since august. When I transferred tanks they just went right into the 150 because ended up needing the water in holding that they were in. Luckily everyone did well on the move.

Erm... pic #3, looks like you've got one of the Homo SapienTangs, trying to climb out ;-)

Lol. Man excuse the slowness.
