Nice Scotches.

I forgot I had the booze pics in there:lol:

As for the tanks, the long one is going to be primarily a softy tank and the cube tank is going to be primarily a stony tank...but I will mix them up a bit.

 

[rppvt]

just those two tanks are 1215 gals. can you tell us about your sump refuge system? What are those 3 white things in the sump? media containers? like the light box/skate board wheels set up!

Are you running seperate sumps? I am assuming no with that Geo beast sitting back there. How will you handle the leather/sps relationship by mixing tank water?

Looks amazing though, you did a first class job

Very nice looking basment. When the tanks are set up it will look awsome.IMO

I am running both sumps plumbed together in series...gives me 8ft of sump and plenty of time to remove microbubbles.

Geo is building my skimmer...going to be a 5ft 18 inch diameter needlewheel skimmer with Sequence pump and Alita airpump....hopefully get that this year

As for the leather/sps problem...I am not too worried about that as my good friend, Stevie Guitar Smiller won TOTM twice here on RC with his 127g Tenecor tank which had beautiful SPS and one of the largest yellow leather corals I have seen.

Greg, aka capncapo deserves most of the credit for the basement...he has been here helping me for free the last couple of years...I just sit there and watch, drink beer and occasionally run to the hardware store for something:lol:

Every day I am alive is going to be a party:beer: I am really looking forward to getting water in these babies...it has been four years now they have sat down there empty.

I have watched and waited long enough

[Purple Haze]

Damn nice. I'll have a Rob Roy with a sidecar

 

[frenchie]

looking real good, very nice work on basement, can't wait for tank viewing party when there up and running.

 

[Schplitter]

You are a crazy man. I like it. The whole thing is just perfect. I like the hinges on the canopy and the doors...

 

[frenchie]

in his canopies over both tanks there are rollers for lights to roll out to change bulbs, freakin awesome.

That phone in the fish room will come in handy. It seems like someone always calls when you have you hands in the tank.
