Marc & Mike's 375 Gallon In-Wall Build

[Marc Weaver]

Thanks everyone for the compliments!!

 

That clownfish followed the female around which chose the duncans and never looked twice at the nem.  She jumped a few weeks back so the male is alone now until I find another one.  My wife likes to choose the fish for the tank and she has yet to find one she likes.  Most of the neat ones we found were not for sale or sold in pairs only and I don't want any aggression.   Hopefully the new one will pick the nem.  I'll remove the duncans to coax them.

Beautiful build, how do these mangroves do? Really liked the idea of having them on display like that

[Marc Weaver]

Thanks.  They do fine with little to no maintenance.  I just spray the salt off of them with RODI water in a spray bottle every few days and that's about it.  They seem to be tough.  There is aiptasia, cyano, and algae growing all over their roots and they still grow.  I have to get some flow in that little tank.  Flow is virtually nonexistent and it accumulates junk quickly.

Thanks for updating this. I read it a while ago and I am really impressed to see it now. That is a very nice progression from the start. How does the fish room look now??

[Marc Weaver]

Thanks man.  I have been following your build thread on RC and love your videos.  The fish room looks about the same.  I just added a countertop and reorganized it, but the tank area / sump looks the same.

 

 I'm going to build an electronics cabinet to hold all of the controllers and DJ switches because I accidentally sprayed water on my dosing pump and ruined it.  The water also hit a GFCI receptacle and the power did shut off but the receptacle was smoking and I'm afraid next time it might start a fire.

Any updates Marc?

Your tank looks great.
