Well its time I start a new thread on the rebuild of my 210 gallon basement inwall.

After cementing rocks for 3 weeks this is what it looks like in the tank.

The sump will be soon finished a new ETTS 1400 skimmer will be installed and all new plubming.

Lots of work to come in the next few weeks.

I promise lots of pictures.

Enjoy the Holidays !!!!

All that patience paid off, Pal. Lots of room for corals. Looks cool without them too. If anybody can keep sps, it's you, A. You've got the know-how and the equipment. All you need now is time.

I've got your Bacter7 at my house. You'll have to come up with the vodka yourself. Don't get the cheap stuff unless you can control yourself. I can't and am getting regular headaches. Next bottle will be Grey Goose.

I like it! Might be able to give you a few frags to start the tank with when you're ready too.

Looks great so far Dent!!! I love the rockwork.

How are you reworking your sump?..I remember your setup from bout' 2 years ago looked awesome.

Are you going to add a sandbed? If you are going with a bacteria driven system, i've read that it works better with a shallow sandbed to host more bacteria. you can do it barebottom, but people tend to get more film buildup on glass, etc.

Let me know when you are ready for some sps...I can hook you up:secret2: It's the least I can do for the primo liverock you gave me (for a steal ) to set up my current tank.

Tom Toro....go with Svedka!!! great vodka and cheap!

Looks like you went with 5 teirs instead of 3. I like it! Much more real estate for coral additions.

Very nice job on getting everything peiced right. Looks great!

Wow! Those are some great arches and overhangs. It's already a sweet setup and there's no corals or fish in it yet. My only criticism is the rock work looks a little too "square" (especially in the second pic). I imagine that once corals are in and growing you won't notice it though. I sense TOTM in your future.

Thanks Tom, I took your criticism and moved some tiers around last night and this morning. I agree it did look sort of square.

I will stare at it today and later on tonight I promise a updated picture.

Thanks everyone and happy holidays to you all.

I thought you were trying to spell something in rock. :roll_eyes:

That will be sweet once corals grow out!
