ok we have had this tank since first of may. we combined one of our 40b and a 75 gal into it. its still a work in progress as im not real happy with how the rock work looks at the moment, but we are in the process of trying to find a house to buy so it will be coming down hopefulyl soon and moved.. so im waiting till then unless i decide i need to clean under the rocks again since its bare bottom and since my MP40 broke i lost a lot of flow, just need to order a repair kit or a new wetside....

but anyway here are some pictures basically just copy and pasting from build thread on my local forum so dont mind some of the text lol just wanted to share.. sorry for the crappy pictures all we have is a canon point of sale and our Iphone 4 so yea not all the best....

here is a few more updated pictures... got the stand all done and the tank sitting up on it. going to try and go over and work on the plumbing, ive decided to go with 2 sump tanks. one for a refuge a 30x11x11 acrylic tank and then i have a smaller 1 chamber sump i will use for my skimmer, each overflow will feed a sump. then i will be going with a external pump feeding it all back, either a mag 12 or maybe a little giant from a buddy not sure yet... will take plumbing pics soon!!!

I was wrong about getting the Bazooka Joe, I got the King Midas, which I gave to Bil as well. So no BJ :(

Doh Owell least we got different stuff to trade later!! The Sps I got us doing great, the blue acro has almost doubled in highth and the rest are encrusting and knobing out some branches!! So hopefully be able to frag here in a few more months!! I need to get a hold of joe about frags off the bigger colonies he got!

Ryan I'll also be getting more silicone on the 13th to build the bigger sump for the tank come down man and we will design our sumps, I got a 20L here to do a make lay out in for yours
