Buddy finally got his tank, now it's just a waiting game for him to get everything transferred over from the other tank.
Any plan on adding an Ion Director to the Profilux?

Yes sir, it's not being released until the fall according to GHL, but am looking forward to it. Gives me a little time to acquire more funds as well.

Tank finally made it to my house, Cadlight Artisan II 100 gallon rimless 48x24x20 tank. Can't wait.to get it wet next week, I'll remove the 57 and plumb this one in its place.
Nice!!
48x24 footprint is an absolute pleasure to work with.

So i cut the drain plumbing leading to the 57 and of course my PVC cement was dried up, lol.

Just got back from Lowes with some goodies. 3/4" maple plywood to build a new base and raise the cadlights tank up 6" in order to utilize the plumbing already in place. I'll post pics once completed and painted. @Chris A. will be stopping by tomorrow to help wrestle this beast from the garage to the fish room with my Dad of course while I stand watching barking orders, lol.

I had to do something similar with my set up where I built a stage out of 2x12 and plywood to raise the frag tank up so it can drain to the sump. The problem with these frag tank they’re shallow so you need the extra height to use what is free(gravity).

I had to do that with my 57. I made that one out of 2x6 and painted black. With the cadlights fancy white stand I opted to go with 3/4 sanded maple. Here's to hoping they match up decently.

Platform with 2 coats of Rustoleum One touch paint. I'll hit another coat or 2 in the morning.
Looks great! You want to do mine too?

I'll paint yours if you hook up my GhL equipment.

Small update. Platform is in place. My Dad asked why the 57 was being moved into the kitchen and not the garage, his words were "thought this one was going". Silly man, this tank will replace the temp tanks place in the kitchen.
