Starting my 240 gallon in wall build
Tomorrow I will be putting in a header in my basement (future man cave) that will hold my future 96x24x24 240 gallon reef tank. I will also have a 75 gallon sump, a 75 gallon refugium, a 20 gallon long frag tank, and maybe a couple of 20 gallon long stock tanks for selling fish. I currently have the 75 gallon I will use for the refugium. I am picking up another 75 for the the sump on Sunday that is a running reef loaded with huge corals and a few fish. Go big or go home. Hope it doesn’t take me 5 years to complete.

Very nice. I spent the afternoon yesterday thinking I was getting a free 140 complete system. All I was going to have to do in trade was a couple days worth of electrical work. I was pumped since I only have a 45. Then, last night the guy backed out. Said someone beat me to the punch. Not sure why he didn't say that when we were negotiating on the phone.

What size tangs are you going to get? I got my sailfin smaller because he is more aggressive- but then found out that the yellow tangs ten ld to just be tank bullies all around- not just to the tangs

I’ve found that the other really cool inverts aren’t seen much. These guys hang out in plain sight and are awesome to watch.
