DSA Neo185 has arrived

[chark]

I have been waiting weeks for the Deep Sea Aquatics Neo185. Thanks to John at Kingfish it was a wonderful experience. From the pictures below you can see John, Brian, and Matt unloading the tank and stand. They brought the sand and saltwater and after two hours it was up and running. Minus the livestock of course. The tank is 60 x 30 x 25" tall. It does not have a center brace and has the center overflow. The sump is 40 gal using an Eheim 1262 return pump.

After it was in and running on Friday my wife Rebecca says it is in the wrong place. She wanted it moved 3 ft. What is a guy to do but laugh. And on Saturday we bought large trash cans and drained the tank. We moved it 3 ft and filled the tank. It is now wonderful and Rebecca says so. (Yes everyone she did read this before I posted.)

Here are the rest of the pictures. If you look at the leveling picture and the fts shot you can see that we moved the aquarium 3 ft.

With the center brace I was quoted 820. The center brace wouldn't bother me that much at all.

Nice. I saw one of those at RCA and need a tissue from the drooling. lol
This is perfect for a Reef Tank. Can't wait to see 'update' pics.

Cool tank. The only thing I can see that could be changes is the back. You did not paint or put on any type of background, this creates depth and makes your livestock really pop. Plus you have it in front of windows; that could lead to heat issues and algae problems.

Here are my first pictures since the original set up in April. I have only moved the rocks 20-30 times.
