I wanted to start this thread a long time ago but have waited about as long as I can.

About 10 weeks ago I placed an order with Acrylic Creations for a custom 66 Long X 24 X 24 Acrylic Aquarium (~166 Gallons). This will be a peninsula style, see through tank, that will separate two sides of my basement. I also have an order on with my favorite sump builder, LifeReef, for and CLF2 Compact Berlin Sump and LifeRefugium which will run along side my LifeReef Calcium Reactor.

I will also be going all out with EcoTech Marine products as follows:

Additional Items:
- 3 X Ecotech Radion XR30 Pro Gen 4 (Custom Acrylic Mounts)
- Ecotech Marine ReefLink Controller
- 2 X Ecotech Vortech MP40w
- Vectra M1 (Drive Skimmer)
- Vectra L1 (Drive return, refugium, and reactors)

Stocking plans for this tank will be very similar to my last SPS tank but on a larger scale. I also plan to push my luck with one or two larger angel species.

The picture below is one I received during production from Acrylic Creations and a shot of the space where the tank will be going. Also a photo of my last aquarium before I relocated to Ohio from Alabama.

Updates to come frequently and soon!!

This is going to be awesome
 
The big PVC cutter came in so I could work with the 1.5" pipe. Maching up the over flow and return plumbing before I make anything permanent.

So I have been looking for a way to support my plumbing without drilling into the steel stand.

In a ah-ha moment I thought about steel being magnetic and found these puppies! Each one can support 11 lbs. without failing!

Sump build is scheduled for the first week of April now, so it should arrive just as I return from vacation.

Heading to Maui for a week, so I should return with some solid inspiration!!
