My 250DD in progree

Just thought I would share a few pics of my 250 deep dimension in wall build.
I am terrible at taking pictures and updating threads, so don't expect much of a build thread.



hhmmm thought I had something further back to get the "in wall" perspective but I guess I don't.
Tank is in a dedicated fish room. Its pretty small with the 250 in there, but I should have plenty of room for all my equipment.

 

I was trying for a fairly open rockwork. But I just couldn't get anything that looked "right" with the rocks I had to choose from. Wish I would have had some more shelf rocks to work with. The pictures are a little deceptive also. The main pile is stacked in fairly tight, but there are still some tunnels and such through it.  We'll have to see what happens down the road. But for right now the basic structure is staying there. I may move around a few pieces here and there but that's all.
That is an RBTA. I had to get him out of the another tank so I put him in there for the time being. I've been watching it closely and seems to be doing just fine.
Tank is a 250 DD starfire front. Didn't notice much difference until I got the lighting on there, but now I have to say starfire is awesome. Sump will be a 125 separated into 3 or 4 sections. hopefully I can get that online this week. Reef octopus SRO5000 int skimmer. The plan is to eventually light this thing with AIs. For the time being I have a metal halide setup I'll put on there. Probably do a mix reef tank. Mostly LPS and softies with a few SPS. Livestock list is still pending. But the usual tangs, clowns, wrasses, gobies. will be included. I would really like a nice group of schooling fish if anybody has recommendations there.
