55 Gal setup (1 Viewer)

Figured I might as well post here if I'm going to document my 1st tank anyways.

Started in the basement to reinforce the floor where the tank will sit in the ground floor living room.

Moved stuff out of the way. Demolished the decorative green wood paneling. Stained and mounted the backboard for pipes/equipment.



Then I made a stand for my RO/DI and Saltwater Tanks.

Can’t wait to see this come together! So the 55 will be upstairs, directly above the mixing station or?

Yes, the tank will be upstairs directly above the mixing station.

Looking forward to seeing this come together.

The new tank came in chipped so I got RedSea to send me a new one. The replacement just came in today. I'll get the stand up and set the tank tomorrow when I have additional muscle to help. Also, I set up a new countertop for a QT area.

Yikes, I should hope they would replace it. That’s gotta be super disappointing though. I’m excited to see it as it comes together.
