I finally got some help to bring this inside after repainting the stand. I also beefed up the stand with some 2x4's. It has been leveled and ready for plumbing, then water. I am upgrading from a 120g sps tank. This tank will aslo be mostly sps. I love the space front to back. "Theres so much room for activities."





 
I didn't like the blue background so I tinted it black. I also got a chance to turn on the Vertex SR360, played with it a little. I will be running two Ocean Revive S206 units on the other side. I will also be doing a side by side comparison with some of my corals.

I couldn't figure how I was going to use filter socks. All the units sold seemed like it wouldn't work with my sump, and I didn't want to spend $50+ dollars to find out that it wouldn't work. I had to improvise and found these cheap universal cup holders. I broke off the bottoms and it fits perfect for a 4" filter sock.



More to come.
