Chapter 4: SPS Dominant Lowboy

[Rainblood]

Im planning on dropping the IM40 and setting up this second lowboy for sps. I’ll turn the first lowboy into an lps tank.

A special thanks to Rit at @atlantaaquarium for sourcing these items.

Did you get that thing wet yet??

 

[Count Krunk]

Lowboys are great. You going to AIO it?

Did you get that thing wet yet??

Not yet Mr. Speedy Pants. Still building the stand

Lowboys are great. You going to AIO it?

Yes

So at this rate you should be wet by 2025?

 

[Rainblood]

Well stand is done.
I’ve got to build the AIO portion for the lowboy.
Order a pump.
Empty the Nuvo40. Move the Nuvo40. Sell the Nuvo40.
Setup up the lowboy and then water

I actually enjoy new builds but you never realize how much work it is. When I got my 120 I thought Id have it cleaned, resealed and in the house within a week or two. Ya well 5-6 weeks later I was finally filling it

 

[Rainblood]

I hate new builds.
Everything sucks.

I love new builds. I’ll have a lowboy frag tank someday. Will be living vicariously until then.

Ask Rit at Atlanta aquarium how much he can get you one for. You might be getting one sooner than you think.

For you guys & gals wondering why stores don’t stock lowboys - it’s because they are big & bulky and packed like shit and arrive broke a lot hence not worth the headaches.
You’ve basically got a cardboard cushion

What’s taking so long?

He's had the plexiglass for 48 hours. It should have been done 46 hours ago.

Looking good! Is this a low tide dry reef biotope? Seeing as there’s still no water in it…
