I figured I would finally start a build thread for my new tank. It's still a work in progress but things are coming along nicely. I am building it with an octopus in mind but hopefully it will get used for a variety of animals including Cuttlefish in the future.
So the tank is a acrylic, it's about 85g and kind of an odd shape. I'm going to be refinishing it the best I can and using back chambers to make it into an all-in-one. I started building my stand today as well, I'm hoping to get it stained tomorrow. It's nothing fancy, just an open frame for the time being. I still need to get bulkheads so I can properly leak test it (it was already drilled so I'm capping the holes for now).
Things to come include:
Led lights
A HOB skimmer
Return pumps
Koralias with wave making controller
Many other fun things!
I'll take some photos tomorrow for you guys.
