I thought this was a family site? That's scary, what happened wife kick you out because you over spent so you are sleeping in the tank? Most start out by saying how many gallons and what type of lighting

Lol. I haven't really gotten to typing it all out yet. I've been working in the oilfield and it's been very time consuming. I just wanted to create a teaser.

That's the 185 actually. I was sopping up the extra water so we could move it.

I think we need another picture from another angle to prove that one? I can't see any flippers or fins

Aside from the gender nomenclature... I keep stumbling over the "maid" and "Ben" in one sentence.

Time for an update. It's been a rough move. I lost many corals that I'm quite upset about. I guess progress has its costs though.

Working on the plumbing.

Honestly I felt as though I didn't take enough time to plan and build the the tank prior to installation day.

We started by pulling al the livestock.

And tearing the 185 down.

I used Krylon Fusion spray paint. It's for plastics and works really well
