Cencal's New Upgrade Project

Still up in the air at the moment. If the 40 breeder has to come down, then full mixed. If I can convince the wife that 2 tanks isn't much more work with 2 little kids running around, I'll go sps dominant. I just love my acans and euphyllia too much to let them go.

In that case, I think that two tanks are better to provide resiliency in case something happens to one tank. You can adopt and raise more creatures, rescuing them from other reefers’ abuse, help the environment, teach the kids marine biology, rewarding investment (you can sell frags), and much more! That would be my justification to the “Boss” 🤣 Good luck!

I like your thinking!

Looks like it's going to be an epic build!

Need opinions and some advice on this one. Progress has been made and about to start my leak test on the tank. Question in regards to the steel stand. Would you place something under the tank as there is a gap?

I believe those tanks just need the outer rim to be supported. Someone much smarter than me will chime in, im sure. Wouldn't be a terrible idea to put a plywood sheet or some foam between the tank and stand either.

I'm going to reach out to my buddy and see how he had it setup, but I'm definitely thinking there needs to be something under there. I guess it's the same as my 40 breeder, the perimeter is what is in contact with the surface, not the glass.
