new to narc and new tank thread...sort of

[dictionaaron]

im posting my new tank thread though its not so new anymore...backstory i started a 37 gallon tank(eclipse) back in april 2010 which busted a seam(on the second floor) and drained about half of the water into my house(lots of damage fun stuff). I managed to save my fish and live rock and most of my coral because i was setting up a tank for my brother which had just finished cycling. So i built my current tank in august and this is it.....i decided to go with a sump this time and drilled my tank and all. So its a 45 gallon with a 20 sump. Nonetheless im relatively new to the hobby as the eclipse was my first saltwater/reef tank.

before painting

same thing from side. i managed to snag the door from the habitat reuse place for 3 bucks to save time.

glued my baffles and testing it out

bottom painted with sump fit test

Very nice setup! I ALMOST put a tank on my main floor. Ha, opted for my basement for "accident" prevention!
