Got the stands mostly assembled. Will also have 2 supports in rear and may need one in front. Hoping not to.

Also doing a 3/4 plywood top.

Thank you Marek! One day I will get upstairs done! Having this will allow me to do upstairs right though.

Once I get the 80 Frag out I am putting either a 180 or 150L where that is. Fish only. There are a few beauties I have always wanted but are not reef safe.

That will give me about 500 gallons in one system and 400 in the other.

Ha thanks. I think I am the one with the sickness though. If it's not broken break it so you can fix it!

Looking good mike!!! Last time I was there you were talking about this build!!
I?m building a big system in my basement like you and I was wondering if you did anything special for air exchange? I don?t remember many windows down there correct me if I?m wrong.
Thanks Rich

I actually have a exhaust fan that I put in and about to put a larger one in. As far as fresh air in other than fresh air lines to the skimmer I am looking to put a vent fan in for fresh air.

Popped in some rear support pieces. Once I get the top plywood on I am sure will be fine. Gonna get some paint on them so it can cure before I lay the pad down on top.

Struggling with what to use. I have found 36 x 90 rolls and 36 x 25 rolls but the 25 is crazy expensive.
