Our coral tables arrived on Tuesday, 1800x900mm, with 300mm water depth. Just got to build some frames, and Nick from ACS will be supplying the panels and doors. We got 3, one for softies, one for LPS and one for SPS. The build quality of the tanks is superb. Not sure what filtration to use, most likely miracle mud and cheato at this point in time though exploring options. The sumps were made to take miracle mud as we felt that gave us more options for a change around. Lighting is going to be most likely TMC on the soft table, and Orphek on the hard corals. Just so happened to come across another coral table, 1800x800mm and a freshwater plant run. Not sure whether to try and shoe horn the 4th coral table in... Really not looking forward to paying the bill for stock in 3 coral tables, never mind 4! Attachments:

Hi Ian,
Any help would be most appreciated. This week I hope to get the stands made for the coral tables (joiner already arranged), fill in the plasterboard joints and sand down ready for painting.
Around 50 socket fronts to be put on, and a few coats of paint. Trouble is, we have to move a lot of gear around to all four walls!
Chris

And the other side. The square panels on the first picture are meant to represent the samples of finishes supplied by ACS. Chris Attachments:

Got round to doing some real work today, carrying 18mm marine ply!! Got some polystyrene boards coming tomorrow, along with the pipework for the flow and returns. Unfortunately won't have any live stock in for the weekend, but at least I can show you some progress!! Attachments:
