Thanks Retro. Super excited for the new tank. Hoping this tank will be even better with all the things I've learned from my other tanks. We sure miss our sweet little Mattie. Hard loss for the family!
The tank build is looking very nice my friend. Nice clean look.. I like the rock that you’re going to be using as well. Will definitely be following this project. 👌
Excited to see this! Those lights are slick - I’ll be interested in what the PAR ends up. The tall stand gives the whole thing beautiful proportions. I suspect this tank will be just as mind-blowing as the RS525. 💪🏻💪🏻💥💥
Everything turned out great so far. We'll done on the flooring. I've tried my hand at tile and it is not easy to get it to look that good. Oh yeah, tank looks amazing!
Very Nice. Been waiting for this video. It is the perfect size for a big tank. I wanted one of these but it won't fit in my little house. Biggest I can do is a 180 which will be coming soon. Keep us updated on the progress. Good luck.
Thank you! Yes I've been growing frags from everything in the 525XL in a seperate tank that are clean and will be going into the new tank. Also been collecting a few other SPS that will also be going in. Nothing will be directly transferred from the 525XL into the new build.
I can't remember exactly. It was kind of expensive. I think it was 800-1000 but they had to do a lot of work and also ran my RO lines. Beats my old ass climbing around in the attic. lol
It was part of the package from the previous owner. I think he sourced them directly from ATI. ATI commented on my IG post today and said, "Unfortunately we don’t have an ETA for new availability yet, but we are hoping to have an update over the coming weeks".
Super smart move with the rock in the garage! Tank should setup smooth.
Nice Phil! I love it! So excited to see the progress! I am living vicariously through you like many other viewers but it is extra personal for me!
Awesome looking tank. Nice and clean looking. Matties reef is going to be great.
Well done Phil going to be a great build and and excellent tribute to Mattie.

I'm anxious to fill it myself. Getting closer. Thanks for stopping by.

Amazing!!
Nice 👍

Thank you! Nice talking to you this morning.
All the bells and whistles
Thanks! It is pretty loaded. Some equipment I'd probably not own if I didn't score such a great deal.
Hi looking good mate 👍sorry for the loss
Sorry about Mattie…wish you much success with your new reef
Thank you! It's been real tough on the family. Appreciate you watching!
This tank is going to be epic! Can't wait to see it come to life 😁😁😁 Did you come up with a plan on transferring coral without bringing AEFW?
Thank you! Yes I've been growing frags from everything in the 525XL in a seperate tank that are clean and will be going into the new tank. Also been collecting a few other SPS that will also be going in. Nothing will be directly transferred from the 525XL into the new build.
@@Reefkpr1excellent plan!
Beautiful name 🥺
Hey Phil, how much did it cost to add the 2 dedicated 30amp circuits? I need to do something similar.
I can't remember exactly. It was kind of expensive. I think it was 800-1000 but they had to do a lot of work and also ran my RO lines. Beats my old ass climbing around in the attic. lol
@@Reefkpr1 Nice. Shoot…that’s a lot but worth it. 💯👍🏼
Higher temp, lower salinity will boost bacteria production on your trough.
Where did you find the straton?
It was part of the package from the previous owner. I think he sourced them directly from ATI. ATI commented on my IG post today and said, "Unfortunately we don’t have an ETA for new availability yet, but we are hoping to have an update over the coming weeks".
@@Reefkpr1 appreciate the reply
