Official TRT- Tank Build threads


OK so I want to have a central location to view Tank Build projects.....I love to see them for the ideas and talents! Please reply with a link and a very brief description of what it's about. If there are some old ones out there that the "Builder" is not posting feel free to post the link for them! But give them a chance. There are many great builds out there!

Only requirement is the thread must have LOTS of PICS!
So start posting please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I will start with an example of my crazy build....not the best but gives an idea!

Here is my double tank build thread in which I decided to split the tanks i had into two much better designed systems, one 90 BB for sps and clams only and a 225 for LPS and softies only....although I am out of room in my sps tank so there are sps in the 225 as well, and i dont see that changing.......

http://thereeftank.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72298

Actually i am about ready to break down the 225 here in the next couple of months after only been running for 3 months........My two major regrets in this double build both revolved around the 225. So it must come down.......

I could dig mine up, but there isn't much to it. I don't think it's been updated since I drilled the holes.
