Big systems


Okay, most of us are watching Gregs threads waiting for more pics like kids at Christmas. How about seeing some of the other big systems around here. Lets see what you have! I particularly would like to see systems that are beyond the standard in-stand designs.
Anyone?

I'll bite.

Here is my 240 gallon in-wall system.



It is a mixed reef. Here are some closer shots.





These shots are older, but you get the idea. I am in the process of ordering some base rock. I have about 200 lbs of live rock in the display now and think I will order about 200 lbs more base rock.

Having a mixed reef has posed its challenges. Trying to keep all of the different species happy has proven to be difficult. I don't think I will be changing to a SPS dominated tank like most do. I like the movement of my soft and LPS corals.

Thanks everybody. It is a work in progress. Gotta get the base rock, Chiller, pump, and Temp Controller in the next couple of weeks. Then there is the aquascaping. The re-aquascaping. Then the "I better stop touching it aquascaping". I post more pics when I get time.

I have a plywood 450.


This was a picture right after the transfer so it was quite clowdy.
