So the wife approved upgrade has begun. Picked up this 120 (48x24x24) Eurobraced from Tyler who ended up being a familiar face. 30" espresso stand. Thanks Chris (Zodi) for helping me get it out of the truck, and Gio (Skidz) for helping me get it to its home.
Here it is when it came in. My light seems to sag when stretched to 48 so I'll probably be building a hanger.
The tank has a off center overflow with just the drain in it. I'm using a Maggie Muffler. First time trying it but have heard good things. My RO/DI is pretty slow at making water so I started in on the rock work and on setting up all the outlets/sump area and some plumbing.
Here's the scaping so far. Going for a lagoon feel. This is as far as I got since I still have one CPA exam left. This has been a good way to break the monotony of studying all weekend.
Any comments/suggestions welcomed.
