My 1st salt tank with 1st DIY stand - 240g

[diveriter]

Here's my 1st attempt at a salwater tank. This is a 240 acrylic 8x2x2 on a 36" stand I built and a 75g glass tank for a refugium. Here are some pics from near start to up and running.





















Thanks for looking,
David

I think it came out excellent for a first attempt. Lol. Whats the stock in there?

Thank you! I have the following in the tank:

6 Yellow tailed damsels
2 firefish
12 green chromis (this afternoon)
1 yellow watchman goby
1 lownmower blenny
1 Mandarin goby
1 hippo tang
1 spotted foxface rabbitfish
1 arrow crab
a nice patch of Blue Death zoa
about 50# of live rock
about 150# of base rock
240# of live sand

I think that's it... for now. I have plans for urchins, many more tangs, clowns and a lot more corals.

Thanks. I still have to make some doors yet and I have already cut and stained the dark brown (nearly chocolate) trim pieces... I just have to put polly on them now and nail them up.
