Id love to show them, and ill definitely keep this updated. Ive promised my wife that before one drop of water is in the tanks, the rest of the renovation will be completed. So, im gonna have to muster as much patience as possible. Its gonna be a few months....but ill update as the pumps and lights are purchased, etc. The hardest part for me is seeing all the fish ill eventually have, being traded/sold. Im constantly saying "Oh that one is a perfect one" knowing ive gotta wait....
Thanks for the kind words guys!

Build sounds Amazing! Are you starting you're own resort??
Don't give him any ideas he might charge us for tank visits!

Its been almost a year exactly since ive posted. Ive got an update. The freshwater is plumbed and theres water in it for the leak test.
All the wood pictured is Manzanita driftwood and is totally beautiful and amazing and wicked expensive. (Currently floating, not yet waterlogged)
My wife was asking me when i was gonna put water in these damn things....well, I contracted with Something Fishy out of RI and they spent 2 full days so far, back tomorrow to finish up...

So, stage 1 of setup is the freshwater tank, the auto topoff and mixing station.
I had the guys from Something Fishy come in and level the tank and stand, as the floor was all wonky. Then they plumbed it all up in awesome orange PVC with gray fitings. Looks awesome, im very pleased.
Floating, non water logged Manzanita driftwood...lol

Final finishing touches of stage 1 will be completed tomorrow.
Stage 2 of the project will be the pluming of the saltwater tank and its auto top off. Im thinking stage 2 will be a few months out, as this is some expensive stuff.
I want to say that dealing with Something Fishy has been great, they are super professional, super knowledgeable and they do great work. Im very happy so far.
Once my budget allows, stage 2 will begin. In the mean time ive got to get that marco rock aquascape going, i thinknits gonna be a steep learning curve, and im gonna need a hell of a lot more from marco rocks.....
So there ya go, happy days!
