Just watched your tank build. Looks great. Good idea of using acrylic rods to build your rocks cape. One tip though in between the rock that was stacked and the rods were showing you could had made a thicker putty like cement and put between the spaces and then use a small rubble of dry rock to push against the putty cement to create intentions and simulate dry rock!
Looking good! Just got my 190 up and running.
@@Greg2385F loving mine so far. Good luck!
That's an amazing location for the aquarium! You have direct access and view of the top from the opening behind.
awesome video! Thanks for sharing and look forward to part 3, 4. Question: Lifting the tank on to the stand, was you and your wife/2 people enough? Was ensuring the tank was level once on the stand challenging? Thanks!!
I had two neighbors help lift the stand, and we definitely needed all three of us. The stand has leveling feet so I spent a fair amount of time getting that perfectly level before the tank was on. Once the tank was on it was also level.
Very nice tank bro. I have the 4’ frag from WB as well.. clean and modern tank ! Btw looking at the spot your tank is in, you might think about leaving at least 6” gap in the back to run wires and or access / pickup things that may fall back there. I have mine roughly 6” and I got a UV hidden back there. Also, I dumped their Ato reservoir as it’s not big enough and the evaporation is bad. So I got the Innovative Marine 15gal reservoir that sits on the side that lasts a week. Congrats on the upgrade bro cheers !
Thank you! Good call and I definitely did leave a fair amount of space on the back and that has helped with wires and equipment for sure. I did use the WB ATO and have noticed the evaporation rate but the bigger problem for me is size of the tank. As you can see, I have no space to the left or right of the display so no room for equipment outside of the cabinet. I may switch to a smaller/more compact ATO tank to free up more space in the cabinet.
Redsea I coming out with a 5/10gal reservoirs. They are super slim and it’s called Reefcan which you can preorder now. I think $100 for the 10gal.. imo isn’t bad for the dimension. They have slim water storage containers for off road / rv that way more than 100 bux.
need part 3
Working on it now!
Off to a good start bro. Very nice set up so far! What’s the plan for the tank? And you have a real nice house bro. Doin big things!
Thanks, Mike! Likely mixed reef but mostly SPS.
@@Saltyrootsjax ya that’s the plan for most of us. It should be a nice tank! Looking forward to watching the progression!
You would have gotten a far more natural look simply stacking the reef rock the rods and configuration make it look very artificial but the setup is nice man
When the coral grows out it will probably look far more natural than a pile of stacked rocks.
Just got my Infinia Reef 150.4 on Friday and they sent the wrong stand 🥲 Waiting until Monday to talk to them has been torture
My stand had a scratch on one of the door panels. They sent me a new one with practically no questions asked. Their customer service is top notch!
