Looks awesome

I have a 20 inches montipora red Plate...It would fit perfectly in this tank. It's too small for mine

OK so finally it was time to start with the plumbing.....

Image

I started with the pipe from the Abyzz pump, this was split for the 2 returns

Image

The left hand side was tricky as it had to run underneath the platform

Image

Image

On both sides they run up the wall before going into the tank

Image

Image

On both sides they pass through the coast to coast weir

Image

and finally they are finished on both sides with multiple outlets

Image

But of course to overcome the syphon issue I have 3 anti-syphon systems on each outlet

Once the plumbing was done inside the tank then I could start on building the rock scape

So here's what 300kgs of Marco Rocks looks like.....

Image

The idea was to build up layers of rock to create different levels and also keep the return flow as open as possible underneath.

Image

here you can see the return pipe outlet, on this left side there are 10 outlets and 6 on the right side

Image

As you can Imagine I spent many hours in there.....

Image

Started on the right side

Image

After some time I ended up with design that I had been planning in my mind for a long time.....

Image

Image

You can see that inside the space is very open and lots of place for the fish to live and hide

Image

Image

Next was to clean the sand and get it ready for the new aquarium. It was washed in normal tap water and then rinsed in 500ltrs of RODI water, there's a total of 125kgs of sand

Image

One thing I always do is to clean the sand with a magnet, this is how much metal came out of the sand which was a high quality branded reef aquarium sand :(

Image

Finally it was time to fill the aquarium with RODI, this may take a while.....

Image

Actually as I had upgraded the RO system to run with 3 x 150gpd membranes then it was providing around 50ltrs per hour output with zero TDS
