It all started with this 40 gallon breeder and DIY stand. The tank I drilled, the sump I pieced together and the stand was my attempt at cabinet building.

About a year later I made the jump to a 120 gallon display.

I built the sump out of a 40 breeder.

I struggled finding a aquascape I could live with. This was the original layout...

Well that didn't last long. I switched it once again...

I tied the 40 gallon breeder into the system and made the total water volume around 160 gallons or so. 120 display, 40 sump and a 40 frag minus rock.

Coral started to grow in the display and I was able to start putting together a collection of coral frags.

Some time has gone by and the tank is filling in and coral are growing into one another in some places.

Some great friends help me build a hanging canopy for the frag system. I have a Rapid LED Onyx, Kessil 150 and 160 hiding in there...

Waiting on the hanging bracket to show. I have the biopellet reactor by AquaMaxx as well and love it. Works great and looks good too. I was very surprised how efficient it was. It took very little to get the pellets moving.
 
We have a pair of clowns in the frag tank laying eggs. We have been fortunate enough to raise some fry... ......................HEY I KNOW THOSE CLOWNS PERSONALLY .......very nice couple !!!!!!!!!!
