As if I wasn't busy enough with the 390 G Tank build, I'm also starting the build of a fragging setup in my basement.
Initial plan and objective of the setup is to provide a backup of my prized corals which is not inline with the tank. So that if disaster strikes I will not have to start from scratch.
I will also use the setup to share trade or sell frags to fellow reefers instead of continuously fragging my colonies, as after the move they'll be placed in the new tank with enough ...

And some early Scaping attempts.
Needed something that would accentuate the tank deapth and have a 3D effect. Scap had to go higher from Rght to left so that viewing the tank from the RT side one would see an ascending structure with many of the corals still visible.
Not sure if I should still make it a bit higher than this or not. Any suggetsions are welcome.

Also wasn't impressed by the epoxy paint they did so had it resanded and repainted on site by 3 coats of epoxy. which took a few days to get done.

Finally after months of delay the build continues with some changes:
-Tank volume was upgraded to 390G for the display after a friends suggestion to increase the length 20 cm more.
-Final dimensions are 220x85x75 (88"x34"x30")
-Starphire on front and side panels.
-Minimalistic Scape
-External side overflow.
-Additional 1000L 265G in Sump fuges and additional sump and fuges in fishroom and connected water change tank so around 2400L 655 G total ...
