CJ's Evo XII

Long time waiting for me but started my cycle tonight. I used 5 gal from my 50 and made another 5. Should be filled tonirrow! I'm still working on the stand. Tomorrow I'm sanding and putting some primer on and then I have to work out the details on the skin, think in going to keep it simple with clean lines and not get fancy as this is my first stand build. I'm planning on putting a frag rack that's been in the other tank in or some of my frag discs from the sump to seed bacteria12F162A5-EE75-4579-8AC5-2A18F0126E08.jpeg1D57F9C7-9121-4176-823E-65171CD94A93.jpeg
 
I am finally going to finish up the stand this weekend (hopefully). Everything is built leveled, skinned and has primer on it. Now it needs two coats of paint and two coats of poly.

The tank is doing well and beginning to start housing some of my zoa frags and any of my LPS that need some rehab.

Put in my media rack, running two filter floss pads, one carbon, one phosphate, one nitrate & chemipure elite. I also have some marine gems in the second chamber. Have an MP10 in the corner, Upgraded the stock return to an MJ1200 with a flow randomizer outlet. 2 bangaii cardinals and a fire shrimp.

Things to add that are purchased: Leveling pad (just in case), BRS shorty reactor (GFO & carbon), BRS standard reactor fuge, undercabinet LED, DJ strip, AI Prime HD+, ATO, BRS 1.1 dosing pump... don't know what I might dose but just going to install one or two of them anyway. Prob eventually start dosing NOPOX & some sort of trace element stuff (very lightly)

This is probably more for me but current Z&P list:

-Palythoa Grandois
-Mindblowing Paly
-2x Utter Chaos
-Pink Diamond
-Twizzler
-Some Hawaiian paly (or large zoa)
-Zoanthid in the maul family
-Scrambled Eggs
-Candy Apple Green
-Fruit Loop
-Radioactive Dragon Eye
-My Clementine
-Ring of Fire
-Gold Dust Paly
-1 polyp of GSP (lol, found it floating in my display)

Looking great! How much room is in between the hood and the top of the tank?
 
8 inches from the top of the tank to the bottom of the canopy and the light is about 5-6 inches up in the canopy
 
Me as well. Love the look of BOTH of these tanks to be honest. First time I've seen someone put a custom stand on these Fluval Kits. Looks great
 
I wish I could say my tanks are still up and running. Unfortunately, life happened. I got sepsis and it attacked my organs. After dieing 4 times they completed my liver transplant. This all happened about a year ago. There were complications which left me leaving the hospital in September '19, tanks untaken care of by my lying mother. She got rid of my dog too!!! these pics making me want to come back

I've relearner to do things like walk. Now physically I'm 85% not playing basketball yet lol. My speech has been the worst part. I really struggle to talk. I used to take that for granted now I'm a prisoner in my own head. I can whisper pretty good so I've been telling lots of secrets! . My memory and iq were not affected by the brain injury

Not supposed to get back in because my immune system is comprised because of my anti rejection meds. But I have a history of finding loopholes thinking about 210 angel tank...

Damn man, sorry to hear. I hope things get better sooner than later with recovery.
